Cicero, On Fate - Chrysippus' Stoic Position - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On Fate, which discusses problems and perspectives on determinism, causality, and freedom of the will. Specifically it examines his discussion of Chrysippus' Stoic views on fate, determinism, and human freedom. Chrysippus endorsed a type of compatibilism, and used several metaphors to explain it, including that of the cylinder.
