Where does the notion of free will come from? How and when did it
develop, and what did that development involve? 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.
