Aristo of Chios
Philosopher, Deceased Person
Who is Aristo of Chios?
Aristo or Ariston of Chios was a Stoic philosopher and colleague of Zeno of Citium. He outlined a system of Stoic philosophy that was, in many ways, closer to earlier Cynic philosophy. He rejected the logical and physical sides of philosophy endorsed by Zeno and emphasized ethics. Although agreeing with Zeno that Virtue was the supreme good, he rejected the idea that morally indifferent things such as health and wealth could be ranked according to whether they are naturally preferred. An important philosopher in his day, his views were eventually marginalized by Zeno's successors. He is not to be confused with Aristo of Ceos, a Peripatetic philosopher of the late 3rd century BC.
