Abstract
BUSTOS, Natacha. Gnoseología y determinismo en la Estoa antigua: ¿en qué sentido el sabio es capaz de controlar sus asentimientos?. Argos [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.2, pp.60-74. ISSN 1853-6379.
The present paper proposes to notice the cognitive process' moment in which the sage's ability to control his assents would become apparent; this objective presents some difficulties given the context of a radical determinism that characterizes Stoic thought. Therefore, and with the aim of solving such problems, we will conjugate the existence of a determinations' chain (which constitutes fate) with the possibility that a man has a faculty which 'might be in his power'.
Keywords : Determinism; Stoa; Assent; Fate; Depends on us.
