Abstract

The paper examines the possibilities of an individual person's decision in the philosophy of stoics. Their philosophical system is based on the assumption of fate necessity, which is supported by ontological and logical evidence.

The possibility of free choice is connected with the study of physical principles and causes. It has ethical consequences for the behavior of individuals because they have to understand themselves as a part of the whole universe and to act in accordance with it.

The possibility of choice is grounded in constant infusing the relation between a person and the whole universe.
