Philosophy applicable to Paradise Lost

Augustine of Hippo - 'What made Adam capable of obeying God's command also made him able to sin', evil is a lack of or deficiency


Boethus - God foresees our thoughts and actions, God knows the future as if it were the present, 'everything is known, not according to itself, but according to the capacity of the knower'


Calvin - 'no wind ever rises or blows but by the special command of God'
