Résumé

Man's creation is brought to completion through his perfection which cannot be accomplishd without the decisive contributioin of his freedom. His rationality is due to the fact god has created him as a mirror of his presence. Man as a rational being cannot refute his rationality since the seed of word remains in force even in the soul of the worst sinner. Man is free but not ontologically independent of god, for he is always in constant relation with him, and through his free will he can always let his rationality either bear fruit or be weakened. At the end it seems origen is convinced that man's freedom, a fift of god, though not adverse to the divine providence it always acts as pedagogue towards his perfection.
