Cicero's treatise \u003ci\u003eOn Fate (De Fato)\u003c\/i\u003e, though surviving only in a fragmentary and mutilated state, records contributions to the discussion of a central philosophical issue, that of free will and determinism, which are comparable in importance to those of twentieth-century philosophers and indeed sometimes anticipate them. Study of the treatise has been hindered by the lack of a combined Latin text and English translation based on a clear understanding of the arguments; R. W. Sharples' text is intended to meet this need. The last book of Boethius' \u003ci\u003eConsolation of Philosophy (Philosophiae Consolationis)\u003c\/i\u003e is linked with Cicero's treatise by its theme, the relation of divine foreknowledge to human freedom. Latin text with facing-page English translation, introduction and commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47615116804247,"sku":"9780856684760","price":6347.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780856684760.webp?v=1775098145","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/cicero-on-fate-boethius-the-consolation-of-philosophyiv-5-7-and-v-9780856684760","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
