It wasn’t until Alexander of Aphrodisias (c. 150–210) defended a view of moral responsibility, that we find something that we would call libertarianism today. Man is responsible for self-caused decisions, Alexander argued, and can choose to do or not to do something. So where does this leave us? Sorting through the wisdom of the past and the science of today, we have to take a step back while looking deep inside our own thoughts and decisions and ask: Do we have free-will?
