 From a philosophical perspective, one of the most important aspects of Olivi’s view is the connection between the freedom of the will and the evangelical vow’s renunciation of ownership understood as dominion (dominium). The idea that ownership is a form of dominion stems from a more general theory according to which freedom of the will can be understood as a dominion that one has over one’s will. This dominion is extended to one’s body and external actions, and ultimately to external goods. Olivi thinks that the Franciscan vow means not only giving up the dominion over external goods but also over one’s own actions (obedience) and ultimately one’s own freedom, as it means subjection to the will of God. Yet, when someone voluntarily subjects his will to God, he paradoxically proclaims his ultimate freedom: the vow must be continuously renewed. The choice to give up the freedom of the will is a voluntary choice that is freely given every moment as long as one keeps to the vow (QPE, q. 8, p. 169; QPE, q. 14, p. 135; Piron 1996; Toivanen 2016a).
