How to attain virtue? By embracing the good and the eradication of passions? Such is the usual way of the Stoics. Hecaton of Rhodes, in the 2nd century BC, clarifies this way and renews it on essential points. He invites a research of rules of conduct, attentive to the singularity of situations, and attributes to each virtue a specif
Comment acceder a la vertu? Par la science du bien, et l’eradication des passions? Telle est la voie habituelle des stoiciens. Hecaton de Rhodes, au IIe siecle avant notre ere, vient preciser cette voie et la renouveler sur des points essentiels. Il invite a une recherche des regles de conduite, attentive a la singularite des situations, et attribue a chaque vertu une expertise intellectuelle specifique, tout en faisant apparaitre une nouvelle vertu, ” a-theorique “. Parce que la vertu est science, mais aussi souffle, Hecaton pense une continuite plus grande entre la vertu et ce qui en est proche, notamment ” l’affectivite positive ” : l’attachement a soi, l’amour de l’autre, la joie. Il vient ainsi poser les bases de la casuistique, et elabore les outils qui formeront le cur de la theorie du bienfait chez Seneque. Ce livre presente une nouvelle edition commentee des fragments grecs et latins d’Hecaton de Rhodes, figure oubliee du Portique, qui joua pourtant un role majeur dans la constitution du stoicisme imperial.
