Categories:

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 Epicurus' views on human freedom, determinism, and the swerve of the atom, which introduces randomness into the universe.
