Cleanthes Quotes on Knowledge
Cleanthes of Assos (c. 330 – c. 230 BC), the second head of the Stoa and the immediate successor to Zeno of Citium, is preserved chiefly through the surviving Hymn to Zeus and through doxographic reports in Stobaeus, Diogenes Laertius, and Sextus Empiricus. The Hymn supplies the most extensive direct early Stoic statement of the doctrine that the rational ordering principle (logos) of the cosmos is the proper object of human knowledge and the standard against which the rational soul measures its own activity, and the doxographic tradition preserves Cleanthes's contributions to the Stoic theory of the soul, of the cognitive impression, and of the cosmological doctrine of the world cycle.
