Deliberation as Inquiry: Aristotle's Alternative to the Presumption of Open Alternatives.Karen Margrethe Nielsen - 2011 - Philosophical Review 120 (3):383-421.details This article examines Aristotle's model of deliberation as inquiry (zêtêsis), arguing that Aristotle does not treat the presumption of open alternatives as a precondition for rational deliberation. Deliberation aims to uncover acts that are up to us and conducive to our ends; it essentially consists in causal mapping. Unlike the comparative model presupposed in the literature on deliberation, Aristotle's model can account for the virtuous agent's deliberation, as well as deliberation with a view to “satisficing” desires and deliberation that fails (...)

Determinism and freedom in stoic philosophy.Susanne Bobzien - 1998 - New York: Oxford University Press.details Bobzien presents the definitive study of one of the most interesting intellectual legacies of the ancient Greeks: the Stoic theory of causal determinism. She explains what it was, how the Stoics justified it, and how it relates to their views on possibility, action, freedom, moral responsibility, moral character, fatalism, logical determinism and many other topics. She demonstrates the considerable philosophical richness and power that these ideas retain today. Download Export citation Bookmark 83 citations

A Free Will: Origins of the Notion in Ancient Thought.Michael Frede - 2011 - University of California Press.details Where does the notion of free will come from? How and when did it develop, and what did that development involve? In Michael Frede's radically new account of the history of this idea, the notion of a free will emerged from powerful assumptions about the relation between divine providence, correctness of individual choice, and self-enslavement due to incorrect choice. Anchoring his discussion in Stoicism, Frede begins with Aristotle--who, he argues, had no notion of a free will--and ends with Augustine. Frede (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 50 citations
Éternel retour et temps périodique dans la philosophie stoïcienne.Jean-Baptiste Gourinat - 2002 - Revue Philosophique de la France Et de l'Etranger 192 (2):213-227.details Selon les Stoïciens, à l'issue d'une longue période de temps l'univers entier s'embrase. Tout disparaît alors, sauf le feu divin lui-même. L'univers renaît ensuite à l'identique. Ce processus se répète à l'infini, d'où, l'expression « retour éternel ». Mais comment certains événements peuvent-ils en précéder d'autres, s'ils doivent se répéter après eux? Et comment le même individu peut-il renaître, si sa substance est détruite? La première difficulté était probablement résolue par l'interruption du temps entre deux périodes de l'univers, et la (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 6 citations
