As groundwork for a new edition of the fragments of Diogenes of Babylon, this paper gives an overview of the sources available to us on his logic (dialectic and rhetoric) and his philosophy of language, particularly in light of Philodemus’ account on this topic in his On Rhetoric. Among other considerations, the paper provides the editio princeps of PHerc. 465 (a ‘scorza’ of Book 3 of Philodemus’ treatise) and attempts to reappraise and contextualize its content within the polemical debates between Stoics and Epicureans on the relationship between rhetoric and philosophy.

Abstract
As groundwork for a new edition of the fragments of Diogenes of Babylon, this paper gives an overview of the sources available to us on his logic (dialectic and rhetoric) and his philosophy of language, particularly in light of Philodemus’ account on this topic in his On Rhetoric. Among other considerations, the paper provides the editio princeps of PHerc. 465 (a ‘scorza’ of Book 3 of Philodemus’ treatise) and attempts to reappraise and contextualize its content within the polemical debates between Stoics and Epicureans on the relationship between rhetoric and philosophy.File in questo prodotto:
