Economics -- Greece -- History; Thesis (Ph. D.)
On this double tendency in the Stoics, and reasons therefore, cf.
Souchon (_op. cit._, pp. 173 f.); Poehlmann (_op. cit._, II, 342 f.,
and I, 111) and Wolf (_op. cit._, pp. 116 ff.) exaggerate their
socialistic tendency. For further discussion, cf. _infra_. Cf. L.
Stein, _Soc. Frage_, pp. 171-80.
Footnote 1017:
280-206 B.C. Aristo and Cleanthes, successors of Zeno, also emphasized
similar doctrines in relation to wealth. Cf. von Arnim, I, p. 89, frs.
396, 397, 398, from Aristo; _ibid._, p. 137, fr. 617, from Cleanthes.
Footnote 1018:
_Ibid._, II, 79, fr. 240; III, 28, fr. 117; p. 29, frs. 122, 123; p.
32, fr. 135.
Footnote 1019:
_Ibid._, III, 156, fr. 598; p. 159, fr. 618; p. 155, fr. 593.
Footnote 1020:
_Ibid._, p. 155, fr. 597.
Footnote 1021:
_Ibid._, p. 160, fr. 629, “Lucro autem numquam sapiens studet.”
Footnote 1022:
_Ibid._, p. 169, fr. 623: μόνον δὲ τὸν σπουδαῖον ἄνορα χρηματιστικὸν
εἶναι, γινώσκοντα ἀφ᾽ ὧν, χρηματιστέον, καὶ πότε καὶ πῶς καὶ μέχρι
πότε.
Footnote 1023:
Von Arnim, III, 168, fr. 674.
Footnote 1024:
_Ibid._, p. 36, frs. 151, 152, “Bonum ex malo non fit: divitiae fiunt:
fiunt autem ex avaritia divitiae ergo non sunt bonum” (Seneca _Ep._
87. 22).
Footnote 1025:
Von Arnim, p. 172, fr. 686 (Stob. _Ecl._ ii. 7, p. 109, 10): ....
λόγους κατηλεύειν, οὐ φαμένων δεῖν ἀπὸ παιδείας παρὰ τῶν ἐπιτυχόντων
χρηματίζεσθαι.
Footnote 1026:
Von Arnim, p. 86, fr. 352: ἄνθρωπος γὰρ ἐκ φύσεως δοῦλος οὐδείς; p.
87, fr. 358; cf. p. 141, n. 7, above.
Footnote 1027:
_Ibid._, fr. 357.
Footnote 1028:
_Ibid._, 89, fr. 365; p. 86, frs. 356, 354.
Footnote 1029:
_Ibid._, p. 86, fr. 355; p. 88, fr. 362; p. 89, 364. Cf. Espinas,
_Hist. des doctrines èconomiques_, 56 f., on the Stoics’ attitude
toward labor and slavery: “Ni les Cyniques ni les Stoiciens ne
méprisaient le travail”; “La seule servitude déshonorante est celle
des passions et du vice.”
Footnote 1030:
Poehlmann (_op. cit._, II, 342 f. and notes), citing von Arnim, III,
77, fr. 314, ὁ νόμος πάντων ἐστὶ βασιλεύς, etc., thinks Chrysippus’
principle of the law of reason as king of all is anti-individualistic.
He cites also Cic. _De fin._ iii. 19 (64), where the individual seems
to be made to exist for the sake of the whole. But cf. above, p. 140
f. and notes.
Footnote 1031:
Cf. Diog. L. vii. 131, and above, p. 140, nn. 7 f.
Footnote 1032:
_Op. cit._, p. 171.
Footnote 1033:
Cf. above, on Cynics and Stoics, and _infra_; cf. even in Plato,
_Laws_ 679A-B.
Footnote 1034:
The Socratics were the pioneers in this regard also. On the
unhistorical character of the alleged early communism in Sparta, cf.
Poehlmann, _op. cit._, I, 75 ff. and 100 f.; on this triple tendency
in the post-Aristotelian social thought, cf. _ibid._, pp. 99 ff., on
“Der Sozialstaat der Legende und das sozialistische Naturrecht”; also
Souchon, p. 172.
Footnote 1035:
Cf. above, p. 140.
