| Summary: | This paper recovers two positions on the concept of destiny: that of Diego de Saavedra Fajardo and that of Plutarch. Both authors, unlike some Stoics, say that regardless of circumstances beyond human will (chance, contingency and possibility), man has the ability to be free and make decisions about his actions, but this does not mean to abandon the ideal of the wise. For them, dealing with fate means knowing the passions that are embedded in human nature, so they do not take them in a negative sense. For this reason, both philosophers insist on redirecting the passions through education, morality or religion and, therefore, on leaving the idea that man is determined either by his own nature or by the circumstances presented to him. Thus, these authors provide essential recognition to the exerciseof human freedom.Keywords: Freedom, determinism, fate, passion, possibility. |
