SVF II: Chrysippus on Logic and Physics

Chrysippus

This volume gathers ancient witnesses to Chrysippus on logic and physics, without turning their quotations and objections into a continuous book.

Composition
3rd century BCE; fragments and testimonia transmitted later
Sources and precision

The position locates claims attributed to Chrysippus, not each carrier. Von Arnim’s edition dates from 1903; the fragments do not form a surviving continuous work.

Before reading

What you will learn

Choose one thesis, name the ancient carrier, separate quotation from paraphrase, then test the argument without increasing its transmitted certainty.

Short summary

This volume gathers ancient witnesses to Chrysippus on logic and physics, without turning their quotations and objections into a continuous book.

Long summary

Chrysippus' books are lost. Johannes von Arnim arranges Greek or Latin quotations, paraphrases, doxographical summaries, and sometimes hostile criticism.

The canonical unit therefore remains the SVF edition page. Its OCR text and labeled AI French and English translations support controlled paraphrase. Verbatim quotation still requires facsimile collation and exact identification of the ancient carrier.
