Ariston of Chios

300 BCE240 BCE

Ariston of Chios was a Greek Stoic philosopher of the 3rd century BCE, a pupil of Zeno of Citium who taught at Athens. He took a distinctive line within Stoicism, concentrating on ethics and rejecting the study of physics and logic as useless, and he denied that anything between virtue and vice has real moral value. His writings are lost, surviving only in later reports.
