Voluntarism refers to philosophy that initially arose in medieval Europe. It prioritizes will as the principal or dominant factor in the universe. John Frame defines voluntarism as “the view that the will governs the intellect and the emotions.”1John M. Frame, A History of Western Philosophy and Theology (Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R Publishing, 2015), 782.
