The Stoics on Language
This chapter surveys Stoic views of language, which the Stoics discussed under the general heading of logic (logikê). As far as we can judge from our scant evidence, the breadth of the Stoics’ interest in language was unsurpassed in antiquity, and intersected with several other areas of their philosophy, including ontology, logic, and philosophy of mind. After providing a brief overview of the Stoics’ theory of the origin of language and their as…
Is Memory of the Past?
Greek Memories
Greek Memories aims to identify and examine the central concepts underlying the theories and practices of memory in the Greek world, from the archaic period to Late Antiquity, across all the main literary genres, and to trace some fundamental changes in these theories and practices. It explores the interaction and development of different 'disciplinary' approaches to memory in Ancient Greece, which will enable a fuller and deeper understanding of…
Dialectic in the Hellenistic Academy
The Possibility of Inquiry
Gail Fine's The Possibility of Inquiry: Meno's Paradox from Socrates to Sextus is an impressive exegetical and philosophical tour de force. It brings together several threads of Fine's research into the topic published over the last twenty-five years, from her now classic 1992 article “Inquiry in the Meno” (in The Cambridge Companion to Plato) to two more recent pieces on Sextus Empiricus's reports of, and reactions to, some antiskeptical version…
Aristotle on the Non-Cause Fallacy
When in classical formal logic the notions of deduction, valid inference and logical consequence are defined, causal language plays no role. The founder of western logic, Aristotle, identified ‘non-cause’, or ‘positing as cause what is not a cause’, as a logical fallacy (NCF). I argue that a systematic re-examination of Aristotle's analysis of NCF, and the related language of logical causality, in the Sophistical Refutations, Topics, Analytics an…
The Stoics on Determinism and Compatibilism
How dialectical was Stoic dialectic?
Protagoras Refuted
Self-Bracketing Pyrrhonism
‘One of the few brands of skepticism in the history of philosophy to ... accept—and even embrace—the charge of self-refutation is Pyrrhonism, especially as it is represented to us by our most extensive source for Pyrrhonist “doctrine”, Sextus Empiricus.’’ Starting from this remark, in his ‘Skeptical Homeopathy and Selfrefutation’ Mark McPherran tries to provide a detailed account of the way in which the Sceptical φφναι and λóγoι, although selfref…
