Шаблон:Short description Boethus (Шаблон:Lang-grc-gre; Шаблон:Fl.) was a Stoic philosopher from Sidon, and a pupil of Diogenes of Babylon.

Philosophy

He is said to have denied, contrary to the standard Stoic view, that the cosmos is an animate being,[1] and he suggested that it was not the whole world which was divine, but only the ether or sphere of the fixed stars.[2] He argued that the world was eternal,[3] in particular, he rejected the Stoic conflagration (ekpyrosis) because god or the World-Soul would be inactive during it, whereas it exercises Divine Providence in the actual world.

Among his works was one On Nature,[2] and one On Fate.[4] He wrote a commentary on the works of Aratus in at least four volumes.[5]
