This chapter is divided into two main parts: the first one (sections 2-3) deals with some textual arguments intending to show that some assumptions of what is referred to as ‘the heterodox view’ are wrong. The second part (sections 4-5) focuses on what probably is the most problematic point of the cosmological ethics of the Stoics: how the particular tenets of Stoic ethics are related to cosmic nature or, in other words, how some ethical tenets can be somehow connected with our knowledge of cosmic nature.

This essay aims at presenting a reading of Aristotle's criticisms of Parmenides at Physics. The author suggests that some important issues that Aristotle takes into account when determining the basic principles of the science of nature arise from those criticisms. Boeri argues that, in spite of the strong disagreement declared by Aristotle at Physics I 2-3 with regard to the Eleatic positions in general and to Parmenides' position in particular, Aristotle takes advantage of his discussion with Parmenides in a constructive manner in favor of his own theory of change and, in general terms, of the indispensable conditions for the constitution of a science of nature. According to the author, one of the central points of Aristotle's disagreement with Parmenides (the theory of being) is at once one of the most fertile issues from the standpoint of Aristotle's use of such disagreement in order to establish the foundations of his physics. Key words: Aristotle, Parmenides, Physics, change. ResumenEste ensayo se propone presentar una lectura de las críticas de Aristóteles a Parménides en la Física. El autor sugiere que algunas importantes cuestiones que Aristóteles tiene en cuenta cuando determina los principios básicos de la ciencia de la naturaleza surgen de esas críticas. Boeri argumenta que, a pesar del fuerte desacuerdo declarado por Aristóteles en Física I 2-3 respecto de las posiciones eleáticas en general y la posición de Parménides en particular, Aristóteles aprovecha su discusión con Parménides de un modo constructivo a favor de su porpia teoría del cambio y, en general, de las condiciones indispensables para la constitución de la ciencia de la naturaleza. Según el autor, uno de los puntos centrales del desacuerdo de Aristóteles con Parménides (la teoría del ser) es al mismo tiempo una de las más fértiles cuestiones desde el punto de vista del uso de Aristóteles de tal desacuerdo para establecer los fundamentos de su física.
