Summary/Abstract: In this article, I compare two theories of human action and its freedom, that of Albertus Magnus (ca. 1200-1280) and that of his famous student, Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274). I argue that although Aristotle is a major influence upon the character of Aquinas's theory, one cannot discount entirely Albert's influence upon this aspect of Aquinas's thought.
