摘要

My contribution focuses on the early chapters of Francesco Orsi’s book The Guise of the Good: A Philosophical History (2023), specifically on Orsi’s interpretation of the Stoic account of the guise of the good. I will argue that Stoic philosophy encompasses all three variations regarding the objective or subjective understanding of the phrase “x appears under the guise of the good,” as distinguished by Orsi. The Stoics can be interpreted as endorsing the Subjective Only view in connection with desires, the Subjective + Objective view in relation to what are termed “selections,” and the Objective Only view in the context of the “good emotions” attributed to Stoic sages.
