Abstract: This article examines the question of human freedom as presented by Arnold Geulincx (1624–1669), a philosopher from the seventeenth-century occasionalism. Drawing on source material, it addresses the following issues: the place of freedom within Geulincx’s overall ethical system, the understanding of freedom and its types, and a pictorial explanation of freedom in the world understood according to the theory of occasionalism. The question is also posed: in the occasionalist approach, is a human being a passenger on a ship (vector in navi) or perhaps a galley slave?
