VALENCIA CONSTANTINO, Genaro. Providence and Fate in Stoicism according to Diogenes Laertius’ Book 7. Nova tellus [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.1, pp.223-242.  Epub 31-Mar-2023. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2023.41.1.2300s01x10.

The aim of this paper lies on reviewing and questioning the topic of providence and fate among the Stoics according to the very few information transmitted by Diogenes Laertius in the Book 7 of his Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers, so the brief reconstruction built by the Greek doxographer could be evaluated. Since Diogenes confirms his debt to previous authors at the time of summarizing Stoic thinking, not only through direct sources but indirect as well, it shall be possible to compare his data with other testimonies which Arnim (SVF) and Boeri-Salles (BS) have brought together into their compilations.
