First sentence: Alexander of Aphrodisias' treatise To the Emperors on Fate and Responsibility (de fato) is perhaps the most comprehensive treatment surviving from classical antiquity of the problem of responsibility and determinism - a problem which is still of great philosophical interest, and one where many of the points made by Alexander are still relevant.
