Abstract
Abstract It is a fundamental tenet of Stoicism that the entire repertoire of human concepts comes directly or indirectly from our sensory experience, interpreted broadly. Here (for convenience) is a familiar set of texts which tells us most of what we know about Stoic theories on the acquisition of concepts. Diogenes Laertius 7.52–3 52. According to the Stoics, ‘sense-perception’ refers to [a] the pneumawhich extends from the leading part [of the soul] to the senses and [b] the ‘grasp’ which comes through the senses and [c] the equipment of the sense organs (in which some people are impaired).
