Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC – 43 BC)

As a skeptic, Cicero states that there is no true philosophy due to the fact that Man can never be certain in his knowledge about reality. As a stoic humanist, he believes there is a natural law stemming from universal reason. Since human beings share both the natural law and reason, Man’s actions are only partially predetermined while he enjoys free will quite to a significant extent.
