Digestion and Respiration Diogenes of Babylon and Others (Phpii 8.29-51) CHAPTER FOUR DIGESTION AND RESPIRATION DIOGENES OF BABYLON AND OTHERS (PHPII 8.29-51) 4.1. Introduction The last section of PHPII (8.29-51) deals with a group of arguments which infer the seat of the intellect from physiological theories on digestion and respiration, processes which were often linked with each other. These arguments, Galen says, were advanced by 'by almost everyone' who advocated the cardiocentric position (29). Most notable are two syllogisms of the fifth Stoic scholarch Diogenes of Babylon (c. 240-150 BCE),1 quoted verbatim at PHP II 8.40 and 44 (SWill Diogenes fr. 30).2 We need not doubt that these fragments derive from Diogenes' tract On the Regent Part of the Sou~ from which Galen had earlier presented a long excerpt, contain­ ing both Zeno's celebrated speech argument as cited by Diogenes as well as the latter's more elaborate version thereof (PHPII 4.7-14 = SVF III Diog. fr. 29). The two arguments by Diogenes presented at PHP II 8.40 and 44 were also designed to support the cardiocentric position. Diogenes, then, appears to have written a kind of sequel to the demonstration offered by his (presumed) teacher Chrysippus in the first book of the On the Soul. Galen, it seems, had direct access to Diogenes' treatise.3 Apparently, it still was read and influential among Stoics and others in his day.4 1 These traditional dates have recently been called into question: see in particular T. Dorandi, Richerche sulla cronologia dei filosofi ellenistici (Stuttgart 1991) 29 f., 61, 69 ff. 76, who argues that Diogenes lived on until ca. 140. If we credit Lucian, Macr. 20 that Diogenes died at the age of eighty-eight, this would push his birthdate forward to around 228 CE. 2 Also containing II 8.47-48, printed, in SVF l, as (Zeno) fr. 140 and (Cleanthes) fr. 521. This passage mentions Chrysippus too but is not to be found among the Chrysippean fragments assembled in vol. II of the SW. 3 At PHP II 5.21 Galen tells us that he would not have presented Diogenes' version of Zeno's speech argument (nor for that matter Chrysippus', II 5.15- 20) were it not for a Stoic (no name given) who disagreed with him over the meaning of the word xrope1 in this argument; see esp. ibid. 24 ftvayKacr8'Jlv oi'lv a:i:rtip ta tffiv aA.A.rov ltrotKOOV napavaytVWGK:E!V f3£f3A,w ... On this passage see also supra, p. 42. 4 For general evaluations of the impact of Diogenes' work in antiquity, see DIGESTION AND RESPIRATION 67 The Diogenes fragments are not among the texts most assidu­ ously studied by modern scholars-unjustifiably so.5 In the follow­ ing pages I shall attempt to uncover their original purport with a constant eye on Galen's mode of argument. As regards three argu­ ments that have not been taken from Diogenes (8.30, 33, 36), we face the additional task of identifying their proponents, on whom Galen is tantalizingly reticent. Their arguments are clearly not given in verbatim quotation, so we also have to assess the authen­ ticity of their wording in order to determine the extent of distortion involved. As far as Galen is concerned, my account in the main body of this chapter will be predominantly descriptive (§§ 2- 4): it charts his procedures without probing deeper for underlying motives and without drawing general conclusions about his method. This appears at first blush to differ in certain interesting ways from that applied in the preceding sections of book II. In particular, Galen abandons the list of perceptible attributes he had used as his scheme of reference throughout. So how far is he following a different procedure and what is its nature and purpose? Having surveyed his argument, I shall attempt to give an answer to these questions in the closing section of this chapter (§ 5). 4.2. Two Peripatetic (and Stoic?) arguments Galen starts this part of his discussion as follows (PHP II 8.30): They say that in the part from which the principle of nourishment (il 'tOll 'tpE<pEcr8at ... apxfJ) is for animals, in that part is also the reasoning element ( 1:0 AOytSOJ..LEVOV) of the soul; but the principle of nourishment is in the heart; therefore the reasoning and thinking element ('to AO"flSOJlEVOV 'tE Kat Ot<XVOOUJlEVOV) is located in the heart. Like the other arguments in this section, this syllogism, given in paraphrase rather than direct quotation, is introduced as having been employed by 'almost everyone' (8.29, p.l62.18). Von Arnim quoted it as a fragment of Chrysippus' On the Soul ( SW II 889), Von Arnim, REV (1905) cols. 773-76; Tieleman (1991) 123; D. Obbink & P. A. Vander Waerdt, 'Diogenes of Babylon: The Stoic Sage in the City of Fools', GRBS 32 (1991) 355 f. with further references. 5 But cf. Stein (1886) vol. 1, 179 f. Ganter (1894) 474 f.

  • Stoic Ethics RICHARD BETT
    richard bett 27 Stoic Ethics RICHARD BETT Introduction The proper interpretation of the role of nature is among the most central, difficult, and debated topics in the study of Stoic ethics. Our sources make clear that, at several points in the exposition of their ethical system, the Stoics make an appeal to nature. We are told of numerous different Stoic formulations of the end or goal of life (the telos); most of them refer to some form of attunement to, or connectedness with, nature as the ideal to be strived for. Again, the Stoics have a complicated story to tell about human development – a development that might optimally result in the attain- ment of this ideal – in which the types of impulses given to us by nature figure promin- ently. And even for those who fall short of the ideal (which the Stoics were inclined to think included almost everyone who has ever lived), it is, they believe, possible to achieve a measure of what they call “value” (axia) by means of the judicious selection of a variety of items labeled “things according to nature” (ta kata phusin). The concept of nature, then, will play a central role in the present survey. I focus first on the Stoics’ conception of the ethical ideal, and of the character of the person who attains it. This is followed by an account of their picture of the optimal course of human development. The final main section is devoted to the condition, as the Stoics see it, of those of us who fail to achieve the ideal, and the ways in which we differ from those who do achieve it.1 Stoic philosophy, including Stoic ethics, underwent various developments over the several centuries in which it flourished.

    ON STOIC COSMOPOLITANISM: A RESPONSE TO NUSSBAUM’S PATRIOTISM AND COSMOPOLITANISM Leonidas Konstantakos Florida International University ABSTRACT: Martha Nussbaum gives a timely and interesting exhortation of Stoic ideals in Patriotism and Cosmopolitanism, but any implementation of these ancient ideals may have very serious consequences, as they certainly did in antiquity. Material consequences (loosely speaking) are not the purpose of a Stoic sage’s actions. Yet if prudence is to be the virtue for us that it was to our philosophical ancestors then, would-be Stoics are obligated to be very careful in making decisions for a cosmopolitan worldview, especially if we are to approach our future based on ideals over which even the ancients argued.

  • Diogenes of Babylon: a Stoic on Music and Ethics
    Diogenes of Babylon: A Stoic on Music and Ethics Linda Helen Woodward UCL Submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Classics 1 Diogenes of Babylon: A Stoic on Music and Ethics I, Linda Helen Woodward, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to analyse Diogenes of Babylon's musico-ethical theories, to place them into their historical context, and to examine the possible influences on his thought. Earlier treatments of this Stoic's work have been hampered by the lacunose state of Philodemus' surviving text, the major source, and in some cases an opponent's views have been mistakenly attributed to Diogenes. Conversely, the state of the text together with erroneous column numbering, have resulted in part of Diogenes' philosophy being ascribed to his Epicurean opponent. Taking Professor Delattre's recently reconstructed edition of Philodemus’ De musica as my starting point, I attempt to more fully analyse Diogenes' theory of music and ethics. Following a short introductory chapter, I briefly examine Diogenes' other interests, analyse his psychology compared with that of earlier Stoics, and examine how that fits into Diogenes' view on music in education. I outline Diogenes' general view on music, and compare the musical writings of Plato, Aristotle and the early Peripatetics with those of Diogenes, particularly in relation to education, and outline areas that might have influenced the Stoic. I also look at later writings where they can be seen as evidence for Diogenes' work.

  • The Soul and Personal Identity in Early Stoicism: Two Theories?
    apeiron 2020; 53(4): 463–486 Aiste Celkyte* The Soul and Personal Identity in Early Stoicism: Two Theories? https://doi.org/10.1515/apeiron-2017-0038 Abstract: This paper is dedicated to exploring the alleged difference between Cleanthes’ and Chrysippus’ accounts of the post-mortal survival of the souls and the conceptions of personal identity that these accounts underpin. I argue that while Cleanthes conceptualised the personal identity as grounded in the rational soul, Chrysippus conceptualised it as the being an embodied rational soul. I also suggest that this difference between the two early Stoics might have been due to his metaphysical commitments arising from his response to the Growing Argument put forth by the Academics rather than the critique of his teacher. Keywords: stoicism, soul, identity, immortality One of the fundamental claims of Stoic metaphysics is the corporeality of every- thing that exists in this world, including the rational soul of human beings. The principles of Stoic materialism are quite complex, however.1 The peculiarity of the Stoic position becomes especially clear in the case of their views regarding the post-mortal survival of the soul. At the beginning of the Tusculan Disputations, there is the following classification of philosophical accounts concerning this issue: (i) death is the perishing of both body and soul; (ii) death is the separation of the body and the soul. The latter can be further divided into the following subcategories: (ii. a) the soul dissolves immediately after the separation; (ii. b) the soul continues to exist for some time; (ii. c) the soul exists for eternity.2 The Stoic account belongs to the category (ii.
