The Stoics on Determinism and Compatibilism is an important book
which reconstructs the arguments deployed by the Stoics in favour
of the view that everything is necessary and examines the
development of the different arguments given by the Stoics that
this is compatible with moral responsibility and desert. The book
carefully distinguishes two separate theses in Stoic theory, that
everything that happens and is the case has a cause and that
causation is necessitating. The book also provides a new
reconstruction of Stoic compatibilism distinguishing four different
compatibilist theories. Salles has written a book which is
non-technical in it's approach and which assesses the Stoic
positions on determinism, compatibilism, freedom and responsibility
in the light of the modern debate on this issue. Covering not just
the ancient debates and thinkers such as Epictetus and Chrysippus
but also examining the compatibilist views of the major modern
theorist Harry Frankfurt, finding indications of his main
intuitions already present in the Stoic arguments and tackling the
positions of Suzanne Bobzien.
