 In the Principles I.40–41 discussion, Descartes appeals to divine incomprehensibility to make sense of how human freedom and divine preordination are to be reconciled. God is infinitely powerful, and He somehow made a universe in which it is true both that human beings are free and that God has preordained everything from eternity (AT 8A:20, CSM 1:206). Perhaps we should just assume that Descartes thinks that human freedom is inconsistent with divine pre-ordination and that we cannot make sense of human freedom (except by appeal to divine incomprehensibility).
