Posidonius’ Linguistic Naturalism and Its Philosophical Pedigree
Ch. 1. P. 15–45.
Verlinsky Alexander
The importance of Posidonius of Apamea (c. c. BC) for the Roman
intellectual life of the late Republic and the Empire (especially in its first two
centuries) can hardly be overestimated.His philosophical and scientific work,
of which we now have only fragments, ranged from the traditional fields of
Stoicism natural philosophy, logic, ethics (includingmoral psychology) to
the painstaking investigation of disciplines which either were considered by
the earlier Stoics only in an insignificant way (meteorology, astronomy), or
were completely beyond their interests (history, physical, mathematical, and
ethnic geography).
