Summary/Abstract: The topic of this contribution is the issue of freedom and its defense in the work of Peter John Olivi. The author, whose work has not yet been fully discovered, immediately reacts to the thesis of condemnation of Aristotelism and Averroism in 1277 by even today’s current argumentation. The situation at the Faculty of Arts at that time contributes to scepticism on this issue, and the very superficial to lax interpretation of Aristotle does not help to solve this issue unambiguously. In the article we want to deal with Olivi’s work, especially his anthropological aspects, to break down the basic moments of his argumentation and to approach some important questions from the very text of the translation.
