Product Description

▼▲

Where did the idea of free will come from? Frede believes it isn't found in Plato or Aristotle, but came to birth under the Stoics, especially Epictetus. Later, Christians, such as Origen and particularly Augustine, took up and expanded the idea, until now it is an almost universally accepted concept. 220 pages, softcover. University of California.
