Talk:Speusippus

Anti-hedonism
Aristotle in Nichomachean Ethics used Speusippus as an example of an anti-hedonist and one who claims that pleasure is bad. There should probably be something in this article about that as that is one of the major sources of info on Speusippus. 129.21.176.115 03:52, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Diogenes
The linked Stanford article seems to say that Diogenes claimed that Speusippus abided by Plato - that isn't made clear in this article.--Shtove 06:37, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Ethics (and Polish version)
Perhaps removing the pointer to the Polish version here was a bit premature. I brought over the list of editions (and added our article's first reference to the important Letter to Philip there). The other obvious thing the Polish Wikipedia has that we don't is a section on ethics (cf. the "anti-hedonism" complaint above). Without taking the time to read Polish, I think it's clear that the Polish version mentions (1) the relationship of the highest good, virtue, to subordinate goods, (2) Speusippus' polemic against Eudoxus on this score, (3) the claim that the Hellenistic idea that virtue is being in accordance with nature originates with Speusippus. Perhaps we have better sources than this, but the bottom line is that we should also have a section on ethics. Wareh (talk) 15:17, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
