| dc.description.abstract | The article includes definitions of time issues formulated by representatives of the Old
Stoa: Zeno of Citium, Chrysippus of Soli, Apollodorus of Seleucia, and a representative of
the Middle Stoa: Posidonius of Apameia. The views of the enumerated Stoics were compared
with Aristotle's standpoint. The comparison showed that Stoics created their own conception
of time, to which Chrysippus brought the biggest contribution. He managed, as it seems to
be, to grasp the idea of conventional present time better than Aristotle. However, the influence
of Stoic conception of time upon the representatives of other philosophical schools was limited
and it is hardly noticeable. It had a strong competitor in the person of Aristotle and it was
his viewpoint which, for ages, have been shaping the opinions about the issue of time and
its nature | pl_PL |
