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 shows that Augustine, far from originating the idea (as is often claimed), derived most of his thinking about it from the Stoicism developed by Epictetus. 410 0$aSather classical lectures ;$vv. 68. 606 $aFree will and determinism$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 615 0$aFree will and determinism$xHistory. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 676 $a123/.5093 700 $aFrede$b Michael$0169604 701 $aLong$b A.
