Abstract
Jabr wa Ikhtiyār (Determinism and Free Will), a treatise written by Khāje Nasīr al-Din al-Tusi (death: 672 AH), is a rationalist approach to the question of whether or not humans are free and is considered as one of the most valuable philosophical-theological works of Shia. This brief treatise has so far been published in a number of different formats that will be discussed in this article. The latest edition of this treatise, based on its lithographic printing and the late Modarres Razavi's correction, has recently been published by Majma' Zakhāer-e Islami publication. Introducing and reviewing this edition is the main focus of the present article. In a general assessment, this edition is an inaccurate and weak version of Tusi's work since it includes various types of problems.
