La Theorie des Incorporels dans L'Ancien Stoicisme.

by Émile Bréhier

Contre Platon et Aristote, c'est dans les corps que les stoiciens et les epicuriens veulent voir les seules realites, ce qui agit et ce qui patit. Par une espece de rythme, leur physique reproduit celle des physiciens anterieurs a Socrate. Ainsi les stoiciens rejettent, dans les incorporels, les non-etre comme le lieu ou le temps.

About the author

Émile Bréhier was a French philosopher. His interest was in classical philosophy, and the history of philosophy. He wrote a Histoire de la Philosophie, translated into English in seven volumes.

Bréhier was Henri Bergson's successor at the Sorbonne, in 1945. The historian Louis Bréhier was his brother.

He was an early follower of Bergson; in the 1930s there was an influential view that Bergsonism and Neoplatonism were linked.

He has been called "the sole figure in the French history who adopts an hegelian interpretation of Neoplatonism", but also a Neo-Kantian opponent of Hegel.
