men hos logon echon, to de epipeithes logoi]); Zeno
however asserted the nature of man to be one and indivisible
and to consist solely of Reason, to which he gave
the name [Greek: hegemonikon] (Zeller 203 sq.).
Virtue also became for him one and indivisible (Zeller
248, D.F. III. passim). When the
[Greek: hegemonikon] was in a perfect state,
there was virtue, when it became disordered there was
vice or emotion. The battle between virtue and
vice therefore did not resemble a war between two
separate powers, as in Plato and Aristotle, but a civil
war carried on in one and the same country. Virtutis
usum: cf. the description of Aristotle’s
finis in D.F. II. 19. Ipsum habitum:
the mere possession. So Plato, Theaetet.
197 B, uses the word [Greek: hexis], a use which
must be clearly distinguished from the later sense
found in the Ethics of Arist. In this
sense virtue is not a [Greek: hexis],
according to the Stoics, but a [Greek: diathesis]
(Stob. II. 6, 5, Diog. VII. 89; yet Diog.
sometimes speaks of virtue loosely as a [Greek:
hexis], VII. 92, 93; cf. Zeller 249, with footnotes).
Nec virtutem cuiquam adesse ... uteretur:
cf. Stob. II. 6, 6 [Greek: duo gene
ton anthropon einai to men ton spoudaion, to de ton
phaulon, kai to men ton spoudaion dia pantos tou biou
chresthai tais aretais, to de ton phaulon tais kakiais].
Perturbationem: I am surprised that Halm
after the fine note of Wesenberg, printed on p. 324
of the same volume in which Halm’s text of the
Acad. appears, should read the plural perturbationes,
a conj. of Walker. Perturbationem means emotion
in the abstract; perturbationes below, particular
emotions. There is exactly the same transition
in T.D. III. 23, 24, IV. 59, 65, V. 43, while
perturbatio is used, in the same sense as here,
in at least five other passages of the T.D.,
i.e. IV. 8, 11, 24, 57, 82. Quasi mortis:
a trans. of Stoic [Greek: pathesi], which Cic.
rejects in D.F. III. 35. Voluit carere sapientem:
emotion being a disturbance of equilibrium in the
reason, and perfect reason being virtue (20), it follows
that the Stoic sapiens must be emotionless (Zeller
228 sq.). All emotions are reasonless; [Greek:
hedone] or laetitia for instance is [Greek:
alogos eparsis]. (T.D. Books III. and IV. treat
largely of the Stoic view of emotions.) Wesenberg,
Em. to the T.D. III. p. 8, says Cic.
always uses efferri laetitia but ferri libidine.
