    "The article questions the standard perception of Stoic philosophy as materialist and nominalist in nature. Rather than being materialistic, Stoic ontology represents a consistent hylemorphism in which nothing exists without matter and which is intended to circumvent and the matter-form dualism in Aristotle's metaphysics and to avoid Aristotle's epistemological problem of the unknowability of matter. Similarly, Stoic semantics is not entirely nominalistic. Although Stoic universals ("ennoemata", "ennoiai") are "post rem", unlike word or sentence meanings ("lekta") they are nonmental noematic or conceptual structures."

    "The formula "the elements of logos" in the Zeno quotation by Epictetus at Arrian, Diss. 4.8.12 need not, pace e.g. von Arnim, pertain to the parts of speech, but more probably means the elements, i.e. primary theorems of philosophical theory, or doctrine. Theory moreover should become internalized to the soul and "lived": philosophy is also the so-called "art of life". These theorems are to be distinguished but should reciprocally entail each other. Philosophy according to Zeno is both tripartite and one, and tripartite especially in that its parts (and subparts) cannot be transferred simultaneously: of necessity these have to taught and learned one after the other."

    "I I have attempted to sketch what Zeno left behind for Chrysippus to develop (63). Cleanthes has been mentionned in passing, and his contributions are, so far as we can see, largely limited to additional work of the same general sort as his master. He too took an interest in the work of Diodorus Cronus, and as we have seen, is the first recorded Stoic to have discussed the notorious Master Argument and its theory about the possible and the necessary. Probably some form of a theory of lekta may be ascribed to him, as Clement of Alexandria tells us. But how much he said on the topic is beyond our ken; probably not very much. For I am personally even Inclined to think that it is more likely to have been Chrysippus who formally added lekta to the list of incorporeals, though such an addition might be implicit in the thought of anyone who postulated that there are "non-existents": subjects of meaningful discourse which cannot be put in category One, the category of what exists. For it is hard to see how that which does not exist can be corporeal. Perhaps it was from some such considerations that the notion of "meaning" itself arose, as well as the thesis that words may have a sense but no reference." p. 27

    "Résumé. Avant le développement systématique que Chrysippe donna à la logique stoicienne, peut-on préciser l'eeuvre de Zénon dans ce domaine? Souhaitant donne à l'idée de nature un contenu plus positif que ne le faisait la morale cynique, il devait rencontrer l'hypothèque éléatique; il fut l'élève et le condisciple de plusieurs dialecticiens mégariques (bien qu'on ne lui attribue pas de position dans le problème du Dominateur et des possibles). Il a dû s'intéresser aussi à la théorie des signes et au problème du critère de validité du conditionnel, sur lequel il adopte la position de Philon (que Chrysippe abandonnera sous la pression des critiques de Diodore). Ce problème est lié à celui de la nature du sage; en reconnaissant dans l'aptitude à inférer un aspect fondamental de la nature humaine, Zénon accélérait sa rupture avec le cynisme. Des Mégariques, Zénon a hérité certaines divergences de vocabulaire et de fond avec la logique aristotélicienne; de Stilpon, notamment, il peut avoir reçu l'idée du primat de l'individuel, contre les Formes platoniciennes et peut-être aussi contre les universaux aristotéliciens. Parmi les domaines que Zénon n'a apparemment pas touchés, on peut compter: la théorie des signifiants et des signifiés; peut-être, la notion même du lekton (qui aurait été rajouté, après Zénon, aux trois incorporels primitifs, nés en terrain physique), et du même coup la classification systématique des lekta; enfin, la théorie des indémontrables. En matière de théorie de la connaissance, c'est en revanche Zénon qui a jeté les bases de la doctrine stoïcienne; le problème était urgent, après le platonisme et le pyrrhonisme, comme le démontre l'attitude contemporaine d'Épicure.

    "Although the Hymn to Zeus is often cited as one of the most important documents of early Stoic philosophy -- indeed the only text to survive more or less intact -- it has not yet received a detailed treatment in a monograph by itself. Besides its indubitable philosophical interest, the poem also provides crucial evidence for the way philosophy came to function as a form of religion from the Hellenistic period onwards. The present study strives to pay due attention to the most relevant factors which make this poem exceptional: the philosophical and moral ideas conveyed in poetic form, the religious underpinning given to Stoicism, and the intricate interaction with the preceding literary tradition. Cleanthes offers his own philosophical answer to the human moral dilemma in terms of the Greek cultural heritage; the Hymn to Zeus should therefore not simply be interpreted against the background of Stoicism in general." (From the Preface).

After surveying the many solutions currently on offer, and noting their drawbacks, this article presents a new solution, one that affirms the long- ignored position of Chrysippus, although not the reasoning by which he arrived at it. The solution employs (and assumes) the recently resurgent doctrine of Aristotelian >Essentialism, which provides a hitherto unexploited resource for dealing with the full range of putative exceptions to the principle that different objects cannot simultaneously occupy the same place."

    "This paper aims at analysing the logic and truth-conditions of the Chrysippean conditional. In its first part some influential interpretations of sunártesis are examined, their shortcomings are disclosed, and two distinct possible versions of the truth-conditions of sunártesis are proposed and spelled out in outline. In the second part the question is investigated of whether the so-called Aristotle's thesis and Boethius' thesis can be regarded as genuine properties of the Chrysippean conditional, as some scholars have interestingly maintained. Textual evidence is exhibited suggesting that it is likely that such theses were valid in Stoic logic. Finally, the problem of how to reconcile the purported truth of these theses with some prima facie incompatible arguments attested by our sources is explored: some possible explanations for the alleged inconsistency are examined."

    "Chrysippus claims that some propositions perish, including some true conditionals whose consequent is impossible and antecedent is possible, to which he appeals against Diodorus's Master Argument. Onthe standard interpretation, perished propositions lack truth values,and these conditionals are true at the same time as their antecedent sare possible and consequents impossible. But perished propositions are false, and Chrysipus's conditionals are true when their antecedent and consequent are possible, and false when their antecedent is possible and consequent impossible. The claim of the Master Argument that Chrysippus rejects, then, is stronger than usually supposed."

By examining the original sources in Diogenes, Sextus, and Cicero and contemporary commentators (Barnes and Burnyeat), and elaborating upon the context in which the paradox arose (the debate between the Stoics and the Skeptics), I hope to illuminate what the paradox can and cannot accomplish. By focusing on the dialogical nature of the original presentation of the paradox, I outline a better understanding than has been offered previously of the strategy that the Stoics deployed, under their leader Chrysippus, in dealing with the skeptical challenge."

    "One of the most intriguing claims of Stoic logic is Chrysippus's denial of the modal principle that the impossible does not follow from the possible. Chrysippus's argument against this principle involves the idea that some propositions are 'destroyed' or 'perish'. According to the standard interpretation of Chrysippus's argument, propositions cease to exist when they are destroyed. Ide has presented an alternative interpretation according to which destroyed propositions persist after destruction and are false. I argue that Ide's alternative interpretation as well as some versions of the standard interpretation conflict with Stoic doctrines about the nature of propositions. I propose another version of the standard interpretation based on Frede's account of the Stoic theory of the proposition. I hold that this version of the standard interpretation both escapes Ide's objections and is consistent with Stoic logic and philosophy of language."

    "A sentence p is necessary, according to Chrysippus if p is true and, p being susceptible of being false, the external circumstances prevent it from being false. This explanation is used in order to construct the modal square or rather the two modal squares. Something is specific in the chrysippean logic: from the necessity of p we may validly conclude that it is impossible that not p, while the converse conclusion is not valid."
