May 28, Michael de Percy rated it liked it Shelves: reviewed. It took me a while to get into this book. It was recommended by one of the Stoic websites I have visited. I was a little confused when I first picked up the book. It was published by Lulua self-publishing platform, and for a this put me off. But this is actually an annotated work of an original Greek work written some time in the early 3rd century CE, and then translated into English by Yonge, Charles Duke inand then re-worked by Keith Seddon in The original author, Diogenes It took me a while to get into this book. Unfortunately, only fragments of the original work, The and Opinions of Eminent Philosophersof which the present work is drawn, from Book 7, have been recovered. Once I had the provenance under control, I appreciated Seddon's work in resurrecting a Stoic classic, and then the of how much I don't know began to flow in. These Stoic authors wrote on logic and ethics and physics and so on, and were far more sophisticated in their philosophy then simply not budging when somebody punched them in the face. As I am currently reading 's Rhetoricthere is some congruence with the basic elements of the philosophy that all piece together as I read more of the . What surprises me most is that much of my knowledge of the A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven, gleaned as it was from the formal education system, is a facsimile of a facsimile copied and recopied and passed on through the ages until what I have been given barely resembles a mere trace of the original. There is too much in this for one reading, and it really is a study piece rather than a work for easy leisure, pointing to further studies to be done more than a standalone piece of as one would expect of a literature review. That scholars were so sophisticated 2, years ago makes me wonder how humanity went so backward and has A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven today at what is barely an echo of the wisdom of the past. It haunts me in that if it happened before, it can and will happen again, so our present circumstances could easily dumb things down, if it is not already too late. And all this from reading a book published on Lulu. It is enough to change my opinion of the self-publishing platform! View 1 comment. Aug 08, Joe rated it really liked it. I gave the book 4 . It may well be excellent, however, I just didn't fully understand it and it for all it's pages it did not give the kind of background on the beliefs of that I was hoping for. I think the book was not what I wanted and I didn't fully appreciate what I was buying. But I don't want to mark it down on that basis.

Zeno was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, which he taught in from about BC. Based on the moral of the CynicsStoicism laid great emphasis on goodness and peace of gained from living a life of in accordance with . It proved A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven popular, and flourished as one of the major schools of philosophy from the through to the Roman era. Zeno was born c. Diogenes reports that Zeno's interest in philosophy began when "he consulted the oracle to know what he should do to attain the best life, and that the 's response was that he should take on the complexion of the dead. Whereupon, perceiving what this meant, he studied ancient authors. On a voyage from to Peiraeus he survived a shipwreck, after which he went to Athens and visited a bookseller. There he encountered 's . He was so pleased with the book's portrayal of that he asked the bookseller where men like Socrates were to be found. Just then, Crates of Thebesthe most famous Cynic living at that time in happened to be walking by, and the bookseller pointed to him. Zeno is described as a haggard, dark-skinned person, [6] living a spare, ascetic life [7] despite his wealth. This coincides with the influences of Cynic teaching, and was, at least in part, continued in his Stoic philosophy. Hence Crates, desirous of curing this defect in him, gave him a potful of lentil-soup to carry through the Ceramicus; and when he saw that Zeno was ashamed and tried to keep it out of sight, Crates broke the pot with a blow of his staff. As Zeno began to run off in embarrassment with the lentil-soup flowing down his legs, Crates chided, "Why run away, my little Phoenician? terrible has befallen you. Apart from Crates, Zeno studied under the of the Megarian schoolincluding [9] and the dialecticians [10] and . His disciples were initially called Zenonians, but eventually they came to be known as Stoics, a name previously applied to poets who congregated in the Poikile. Zeno is said to have declined Athenian citizenship when it was offered to him, fearing that he would appear unfaithful to his native land, [19] where he was highly esteemed, and where he contributed to the restoration of its baths, after which his name was inscribed upon a pillar there as "Zeno the ". Zeno died around BC. As he was leaving the school he tripped and fell, breaking his toe. Striking the ground with his fist, he quoted the line from the Niobe :. During his lifetime, A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven received appreciation for his philosophical and pedagogical teachings. Among other things, Zeno was honored with the golden crown, [27] and a tomb was built in honor of his moral influence on the youth of his era. The crater Zeno on the is named in his honour. Following the ideas of the Old AcademyZeno divided philosophy into three parts: logic a wide including rhetoricgrammarand the theories of and thought ; physics not just sciencebut the divine nature of the as well ; and ethicsthe end goal of which was to achieve through the right way of A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven according to Nature. Because Zeno's ideas were later expanded upon by and other Stoics it can be difficult to determine precisely what he thought. But his general views can be outlined as follows:. In his treatment of Logic, Zeno was influenced by Stilpo and the other Megarians. Zeno urged the need to lay down a basis for Logic because the wise person must know how to avoid deception. Zeno stretched out his fingers, and showed the palm of his hand, — "Perception," — he said, — "is a thing like this. But when he brought his left hand against his right, and with it took a firm and tight hold of his fist: — "Knowledge" — he said, was of that character; and that was what none but a wise person possessed. The Universein Zeno's view, is God : [35] a divine reasoning entity, where all the parts belong to the whole. Zeno, then, defines nature by saying that it is artistically working , which advances by fixed methods to . For he maintains that it is the main function of art to create and produce, and that what the hand accomplishes in the productions of the arts we employ, is accomplished much more artistically by nature, that is, as I said, by artistically working fire, which is the master of the other arts. This divine fire, [33] or , [38] is the basis for all activity in the Universe, [39] operating on otherwise passive , which neither increases nor diminishes itself. The Nature of the Universe is such that it accomplishes what is right and prevents the opposite, [44] and is identified with unconditional Fate[45] while allowing it the free-will attributed to it. Like the CynicsZeno recognised a single, sole and simple , [46] which is the only goal to strive for. A bad feeling pathos "is a disturbance of the mind repugnant to , and against Nature. Zeno deviated from the Cynics in saying that things that are morally indifferent could nevertheless have . Things have a relative value in proportion to how they aid the natural instinct for self-preservation. Self-preservation, and the things that contribute towards it, has only a conditional value; it does not aid , which depends only on moral actions. Just as Virtue can only exist within the dominion of Reason, so Vice can only exist with the rejection of Reason. Virtue is absolutely opposed to Vice, [54] the two cannot exist in the same thing together, and cannot be increased or decreased; [55] no one moral action is more virtuous than another. All errors must be rooted out, not merely set aside, [61] A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven replaced with right reason. None of Zeno's A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven have survived except as fragmentary quotations preserved by later writers. However, the titles of many of Zeno's writings are known and are as follows: [62]. The most famous of these works was Zeno's Republica work written in conscious imitation of or opposition to 's . Although it has not survived, more is known about it than any of his other works. It outlined Zeno's vision of the Stoic society.
