With these principles there was, originally, in the Stoic philosophy conjoined a considerable body of logic, cosmogony, and paradox.

In men's intuitive judgments respecting the right and the wrong, the noble and base, the admirable and contemptible, and so on, we may see the same kind of illusory universalizing of personal ...
