Stoic Themes in Peripatetic Sources?
View through CrossRef
AbstractThis chapter presents a brief preliminary survey of several texts which might suggest a close affinity between the Peripatetic and Stoic doctrines of principles. The goal is to see to what extent these parallels may amount to a genuinely shared position on any of the issues under examination. The discussion starts with the Antiochean account of the physics of ‘Old Academy’ presented in Cicero's Acad. 1. 24-9. Section 2 deals with ‘physical’ fragments of Peripatetic Critolaus; it tries to see whether they could provide any ground for Antiochus' incorporation of Peripatetic physics. The third section deals with the ‘suspect’ cases of Stoicizing in the Peripatetic tradition: Xenarchus' arguments against the fifth body and the use of the concept ‘prime matter’ by Boethus of Sidon and Nicolaus of Damascus. Section 4 looks at some parallel discussions in Alexander of Aphrodisias.
