Teacher:how do know chrisippus

I was surprised after seeing the number of views it has got. TBH it deserves more than one million.
Thank you! While not the most staggering ascent, things have been going pretty steady. Recently just reached 1k subs which I am stoked about. I am so grateful for those of you who have discovered my videos and support the channel. Maybe in a few years I can look back at this video with 1,000,000 views!
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy definitely you are going to reach that level very soon. RUclips algorithm has also considered your contents by putting it on the top search list.
It is in the thousands right now but it was only done last year.
Is this the same person who died after watching a donkey eating its figs
So the legend goes!
"AAHAHAHAHHAHA IS THAT DONKEY EATING FIGS AAAAAAAAHAHAH HOLY SHIT MAN"
It is quite the legend haha, cheers for making it to the end of the video, thanks for watching!
ok but a donkey eating figs is pretty funny
I admit, I would give it a chuckle if I saw it in person.
Nice video!
I have not heard of him before and learned a lot!
Thank you🙏
I am very glad that I was able to bring this man's life and ideas to you! He often gets overshadowed by Zeno, though he arguably contributed more to posterity. Thank you for taking the time to watch!
What joke was Athenian philosopher Chrysippus laughing at that caused him to die?
It wasnt a joke he was laughing at a donkey eating his figs
The donkey eating the figs was what spurred him on to say "give that donkey some wine," or something close to it. He was a man up in years, it is not unquestionable that the strain placed on his heart from laughing so hard caused him to suffer a cardiac episode. As odd a death as this legend portrays, it is not the most questionable that I have heard passed down. That would have to go to Diogenes The Cynic!
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy Donkey eating figs - funniest sh*t I've ever seen...
@@v21829 I shit you not, he gives the donkey some wine.
watching all your videos. fantastically done! all of them!
Very happy to hear that MJ, let me know if there are any philosophers who you would like to see more about in the future!
The first man to laugh his ass off
I always find the way in which he reportedly died fascinating for a stoic. It seems to me the Roman stoics were somewhat more serious-minded than the Greek. I could be overlooking the Roman stoics attributes, and understating the Greeks, but it has seemed this way to me from the little we know of them.
So... nobody knows how he died.
Only some questionable second and third hand accounts I suppose.
Hey! I was wondering if you can tell me about Diogenes and if he is a trust worthy source his accounts of deaths(most notably Chrysippus death)
Well I would say he is a bit less mythical in the nature of his accounts than say Herodotus, though there is certainly a fair amount of his work that is less than accurate. As for the death of Chrysippus I would say that, while he may have died laughing at the Olympiad, it was likely secondary to perhaps a CVA or infarction. It may have been that because of his intense laughter mixed with the heat of a hot day and advanced age, he succumb to one of these things. All of this is mere speculation though, I believe his account of Chrysippus' death is the only we have, though I have not scoured the internet for answers. Thanks for taking the time to inquire about this fascinating and immensely influential man, I hope you found the video to be helpful!
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy Thanks, and I did find this video helpful.
Me wen donke eat fig
I see what you did there, well played.
Excellent information and editing!
Excellent Ripoff of Biography
There is limited information on Chrysippus, all of the sources that I used to compile this video are in the description. I will tell you not much is known of this man, much of the sources expound very similar information. Thanks for taking the time to listen, even if you label it as only a ripoff.
I peat thee not the donkey wast eating figs, funniest thing i've ev'r seen!
3:09 idk why but im dying of laughter because of this logic
Your guess would be as good as mine friend haha.

Powerful
Thank you for sharing
I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for the support!
I appreciate this video. Thank you
Cheers, thanks for watching friend!
such a wonderful video
Chrysippus is probably the greatest of all the Stoics.
Objectively, I would say absolutely, though I personally enjoy Seneca's writings most of all. Chrysippus contributed, I would say, the greatest amount to the stoic tradition. It is a shame he is not more well known, but works that deal in ethics, and that carry more, um inspiration if you would, tend to be what brings the majority of people toward Stoicism. Of the stoics, who is it that you typically read if you pick up a book from the shelf?
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy Seneca is the best writer of them all IMO and he's writings are the most human and relatable (most of the older works of the ancient Stois haven't survived). So I do agree with you. I read his books the most.
Where can we find the 700+ books?
From the sources I have seen, not a single one remains, only fragments.
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy Where can we find the fragments?
@@kendrickharding514 I believe they can all be found within the Stoicorum Veterum Fragmenta. This being a collection of fragments and writings from the early stoics. It was published in the early 1900s so is probably public domain at this point and may be able to find a full transcript online. I am not sure where to get this transcript, but worth a look.
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy thank you
