Šiame straipsnyje toliau tyrinėjama šv. Tomo Akviniečio žmogaus laisvės samprata veikale Summa Theologiae.

According to them, namely Prima Secundae and another late text – the 6th question of De Malo – represent changed Thomas’ reasoning on the issue of human freedom in comparison with early-middle and late periods of his work.
