Vrin, Paris, 1986. 292p.Paperback. Voer a little bit stained. Upper and fore edge a bit rust stained. Signature from Prof. J. Mansfeld and year on free endpapepr. Notae doctae Prof. JM. A lot of pen and pencil notes in Dutch and French. Series: Histoire des Doctrine de l'Antiquité Classique, 10. (Rare). ?Most of the book is taken up with an attempt at reconstructing the main ethical tenets of Diogenes of Sinope from a plurality of late sources. (?) G.?s original thesis is that this ethics is grounded in the continuous practice of exercising (askesis) the body, and the body only, to a moral purpose. Actions and behaviour, not study and theory provide the short cut to virtue. (?) Diogenes? voluntarism is set off against the intellectualist ethics of the earlier Plato?s, and Aristotle?s, Socrates, Xenophon?s Socrates, just as the later Plato himself, allows for moral training, knowledge not being sufficient. The views of early, Middle, and Late Stoics on askesis are assembled; these held that both the soul and the body, or rather the will, should be exercises, each in his own way. Thus prepared, G. Sets out to interpret 6.70-1 (?). She is aware that the doxographics in bk. have been stoicised (?). The doxography at 6.70-1 would consist of two parts. The first (?) according to G. Derives from a Stoic doxographer; the second (?) from one of Diogenes? books by way of this doxography. In both parts, the emphasis would be on the askesis of the body. (?) G.?s highly moral Diogenes is not convincing. She fails to take sufficient notice of the fact that a bowdlerised and ethically updated version of Cynicism was promoted by a strong current among the Middle and Later Stoics.?
