Hi,

I came to read an article about Hermarchus where it is mentioned that he tried to integrate the Stoic oikeiosis theory.

Here is the link it is without costs when logged/registered in "Academia" :

Hermachus

I find it very interesting because

1. Maybe it would strengthen Epicurean ethics (justice, friendship, kindness, compassion, altruism, other regarding feelings). Very often it is highlighted how selfish/egoistic Epiurean ethics would be (especially from enemies of Epicurean Ph. )

2. He lives in the time of early Stoicism so maybe there are good defensed / disputes with / against the Stoic ethical theory what is often considered more altruistic and more compassionate.

Do we have texts/ resources from him which are easily accessible?

It's in German but there's this:

Thank you, I am german (live near Würzburg where is an Epicurean science center on the university) so it is easy to read for me, perfect

That's good. If you find anything particularly interesting as you read it, please share.
