Question

This school’s philosophy of language juxtaposes truth-bearing propositions, or assertibles, with the lekta, or “sayable.” A theoretical “perfect sage” of this school never makes epistemological mistakes because they only assent to cognitive impressions. This school posited a deterministic cycle in which the world reaches a great conflagration before beginning (15[1])again; that doctrine is called (*) “eternal recurrence.” Chrysippus and Cleanthes (10[1])were early members of this school, (-5[1])a book from which claims that one should only be concerned with one’s own actions, (10[1])since they are all (-5[1])that one can control.
