en-wikipedia-org-5177		Republic (Zeno) - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1737	227	69	Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius The Republic (Greek: Πολιτεία) was a work written by Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoic philosophy at the beginning of the 3rd century BC. Written, it would seem, in conscious opposition to Plato's Republic,[1] Zeno's Republic (politeia) outlined the principles of an ideal state written from the point of view of early Stoic philosophy. It is true indeed that the so much admired Republic of Zeno, first author of the Stoic sect, aims singly at this, that neither in cities nor in towns we should live under laws distinct one from another, but that we should look upon all people in general to be our fellow-countryfolk and citizens, observing one manner of living and one kind of order, like a flock feeding together with equal right in one common pasture. One person who had read it was "Cassius the Skeptic", whose polemic written against Zeno's Republic is paraphrased by Diogenes Laërtius: Zeno's Republic seems to have been viewed with some embarrassment by some of the later Stoics.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5177.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5177.txt
