Antiochus’ use of forms and the Stoics (original) (raw)

The paper examines Antiochus' philosophical approach as a bridge between Platonism and Stoicism, arguing that Antiochus reinterprets Plato's materialism to align with Stoic doctrines, particularly concerning forms and their relationship to the mind and senses. The author critiques existing interpretations and posits that Antiochus simultaneously emphasizes certain Platonic aspects while adopting a Stoic perspective on materialism, thus highlighting his unique position in the tradition. Cicero's Academica Priora serves as a key source for understanding this nuanced philosophical synthesis.
