Studies either relate them to the concept of <i>ḥērūṯā </i>in Syriac tradition or the context of Christian-Muslim controversy. I demonstrate that in ‘Ammār’s discussion, on a terminological-lexical level, engagement with Islamic thought is less evident while Syriac influences and Patristic and Greek philosophical parallels can be identified. I reconstruct the meanings of his terms through a close reading of extensive passages and group the occurrences lexically-thematically into the following units: 1. freedom (<i>ḥurriyya</i>, derivations from <i>ḥ-r-r</i>, related or synonymous expressions); 2. capacity, choice (<i>istiṭā‘a, iḫtiyār</i>); 3. acquisition, deserving, necessitating (<i>iktisāb, istiḥqāq, istīğāb</i>); 4. intentions, moral responsibility.
