This chapter turns from questions of cognition to those related to volition, and, in particular, to the preliminary movements of the sense appetite which lay the foundation for the work of free will. John departs from past precedent in describing these appetites as only partially due to the passive reception of sense data and as entailing an active if preliminary movement of the will towards or away from its objects. In this way, he seems to anticipate John Duns Scotus’ theory of the will and its affections.
