Volontà e coerenza. Il senso dell'esistenza secondo Marco Aurelio
No full textIn his Meditations Marcus Aurelius insistently returns to the purely Stoic ques-
tion of accepting destiny and the role that every human being must play in the world.
This contribution focuses on the ‘will’, essential to make this acceptance effective and
operational. It is a will resulting from a severe path of self-education and serious train-
ing favoured by friends and influential teachers. A will which, within the folds of Marcus
Aurelius’ Selbsbetrachtungen, can be qualified as the expression of an emotion (i.e. of a
desire) or as the expression of a decision. A will which is at the service of hêgemonikon
and is configured as a necessary means to achieve the ‘coherence’ that every human
being (not necessarily the sapiens) must set as an objective, once what is ‘up to him’
has been defined
La filosofía estoica y la cuestión del libre albedrío
No full textUndoubtedly the Stoic perspective with respect to becoming is of a deterministic type. However, if for a first confirmation it is sufficient to consider the conception of the "cause" and the relationship "cause" - "effect" as they are scholastically presented, it may be more interesting to focus attention on Roman Stoicism. Of it we not only possess a series of texts of direct tradition, but in it we observe a great ability to reread and rethink the doctrine of the ancient Greek masters. The starting point is the conception of 'causality' present in the fragments of Arius Didymus, compared to what is offered by Seneca, in Letter 65 and, before that, by Cicero in the De fato. The analysis of the Chrysippean argumentation present in this dialog leads to support the thesis of a compatibilist conception regarding the doctrine of free will; hence, the thesis of a free adhesion to the universal conditioning of destiny
Paredeigmata voluntatis 2: L'esperienza dell'Occidente
No full textThe volume contains eleven contributions that were presented at the second confer-
ence dedicated to voluntas, held at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in 2023. The focus of
this collection is the Western conception of voluntas, which, in its paradigmatic value,
had been established in the Greco-Roman world. The authors proceed to explore the
history of the concept in medieval and modern philosophy, highlighting the contribu-
tions of prominent figures such as Augustine, Duns Scotus, Descartes, and twentieth-
century German philosophy. Important advances in this area can be attributed, at least
in part, to efforts to delineate the dynamism and mutation of the paradigm adopted. The
concept of voluntas, originally introduced by Cicero and subsequently elaborated by Au-
gustine inside a Platonic, Aristotelian and Stoic tradition, encapsulates the fundamental
principle of subjective action and the desire unequivocally present in all human beings.
Later, in the Romance languages and finally in modern contexts, voluntas underwent a
process of recalibration, redefinition, and reshaping. In the nineteenth century, voluntas
began to take on the character and force of a non-rational metaphysical foundation of
the whole of reality. This transformation is evident in the depersonalization of voluntas,
as evidenced by Schopenhauer’s representation of the ‘World’ and Nietzsche’s
conception of the ‘Dionysian character’ and ‘Will to power’. These philosophers argue
that voluntas functions as an all-encompassing horizon of vital occurrence in constant
becoming, aspiring to unceasingly empower itself.
Today, the problematic radical distinction between ‘will’ and ‘free-will’ on the one hand;
the meaning of ‘intentionality’ and the concept of ‘agent-causality’ on the other appear
to predominate. The dichotomy between will and reason can indeed be theorized; nev-
ertheless, when considered collectively, it can be reasonably contested
