Abstract
In 1967 Epicurus was credited with the discovery of the problem of free will and determinism.1 Among the contestants were Aristotle and the early Stoics. Epicurus emerged victorious, because—so the argument went—Aristotle did not yet have the problem, and the Stoics inherited it from Epicurus. In the same year David Furley published his essay Aristotle and Epicurus on Voluntary Action’, in which he argued that Epicurus’ problem was not the free will problem.2 In the thirty-odd years since then, a lot has been published about Epicurus on freedom and determinism.
