Abstract

The stoic concept of freedom is presented and characterized in the paper. It is believed that the stoic determinism does not reject a coherent theory of human free will. The author claims that the Stoics treated the theory of fate as exceptional in order to let man be the creator of his own thoughts; only in such a situation people may be responsible for the results of their cosiderations and following the rules of normative ethics seems sensible.

The Stoics believed that determinism does not concern mental acts. It is a metho- dological assumption, based upon the state ment that this particular sphere of reality re- mains beyond the cognitive power of a human being. According to this kind of argumentation, man may agree or disagree with the events occurring in the world and it depends only on himself.
