In De fato, Alexander constructs a Peripatetic theory of destiny and refutes the Stoics, supporters of a hard conception of destiny. With this, he offers a major document on determinism in antiquity. The book shows how the exegesis of Aristotle allows him to propose a new conception of responsibility.
- By (author) Isabelle Koch
Review - French A la fin du IIe siecle ap. J.-C., Alexandre d'Aphrodise, titulaire de la chaire imperiale de philosophie peripateticienne, expose la doctrine d'Aristote sur le destin et sur "ce qui depend de nous" . Son but est double : construire une theorie peripateticienne du destin, question jusque-la marginale dans le Peripatos, et refuter les partisans d'une conception dure du destin, en qui il faut sans doute voir des Stoiciens. La polemique occupe la quasi totalite du De fato, qui constitue par la un document majeur sur le determinisme dans l'Antiquite. L'ouvrage decrit comment, a travers l'exegese d'Aristote, Alexandre d'Aphrodise elabore une autre conception du destin et propose une reformulation libertarienne de ce qui depend de nous .
