  1. Self-Causation and Unity in Stoicism.Reier Helle - 2021 - Phronesis 66 (2):178-213.
    According to the Stoics, ordinary unified bodies—animals, plants, and inanimate natural bodies—each have a single cause of unity and being: pneuma. Pneuma itself has no distinct cause of unity; on the contrary, it acts as a cause of unity and being for itself. In this paper, I show how pneuma is supposed to be able to unify itself and other bodies in virtue of its characteristic tensile motion (τονικὴ κίνησις). Thus, we will see how the Stoics could have hoped to (...)

  • (1 other version)Revisión de Crisipo de la teoría estoica del destino.Laura Liliana Gómez Espíndola - 2013 - Estudios de Filosofía (Universidad de Antioquia) 48:129-149.
    Este artículo está dedicado a la revisión que Crisipo hizo a la teoría estoica del destino. Para ello se examinará en primer lugar una objeción a la teoría, que es conocida como Argumento Perezoso. De acuerdo con ésta, si sostenemos que el destino tiene siempre un mecanismo fatalista, tendríamos que concluir que ninguno de nuestros deseos y esfuerzos tiene importancia. Se sugerirá que Crisipo desarrolló su distinción entre eventos destinados y codestinados para limitar el mecanismo fatalista del destino a tan (...)

  • (1 other version)Corporealismo y causalidad en la Estoa antigua: un enfoque desde un modelo no-matemático.Natacha Bustos - 2014 - Estudios de Filosofía (Universidad de Antioquia) 50:53-65.
    El trabajo se propone evaluar en qué sentido la concepción que la Estoa antigua ha sostenido sobre lo corpóreo no privilegia la dimensión espacial. Es decir, analizaremos el argumento estoico según el cual el lugar o la extensión de un cuerpo no se determina por su posición respecto de otro cuerpo, sino por su actividad o fuerza; más específicamente, por su tensión interna. Por tanto, será nuestro objetivo inicial analizar cuáles son los fundamentos que permitirían dar cuenta de la concepción (...)

    Does the Stoic school really, accepting fate, reject free will? It would seem so, mainly if we read the evidences of Zeno or Chrysippus. The Stoic Senecais central to this particular theoretical inquiry, which hinges on the concepts of causality, of determinism and responsibility.

  • Aristotle and chrysippus on the psychology of human action: Criteria for responsibility.Priscilla K. Sakezles - 2007 - British Journal for the History of Philosophy 15 (2):225 – 252.
    This Article doDespite obvious differences in the Aristotelian and Stoic theories of responsibility, there is surprisingly a deeper structural similarity between the two. The most obvious difference is that Aristotle is (apparently) a libertarian and the Stoics are determinists. Aristotle holds adults responsible for all our "voluntary" actions, which are defined by two criteria: the "origin" or cause of the action must be "in us" and we must be aware of what we are doing. An "involuntary" action, for which we (...)
