"Cato Peripateticus" - stoische und peripatetische Ethik im Dialog: Cic. "fin." 3 und der Aristotelismus des ersten Jh. v. Chr. (Xenarchos, Boethos und 'Areios Didymos')

by Philip Schmitz

Overview

Book 3 of Cicero’s de finibus is generally regarded as an accurate description of Stoic ethics. This study shows that Cicero did not present Stoic orthodoxy but combined it with contemporary peripatetic theory. This has implications for our understanding of Stoa and Peripatos and offers new insights into Cicero’s methods and the philosophical discourse of the 1st century BC.
