 Epicurus and his followers, by contrast, accepted that if all things are fated, then all our actions are involuntary, from which it follows that we are responsible for none of them. They preserved the voluntary and moral responsibility by rejecting fate, notoriously postulating the swerve, occasional random uncaused atomic motions (De fato 21-2; cf. Lucretius DRN 2.251-93 = LS 20 F).
