abstract:Sources for Stoicism present conflicting accounts of the Stoic principles. Some suggest that the principles are inseparable from each other. Others suggest that they are separable. To resolve this apparent interpretive dilemma, I distinguish between the functions of the principles and the bodies that realize those functions. Although the principles cannot separate when realizing their roles, the Stoic theory of blending entails that the bodies that realize those roles are physically separable. I present a strategy for further work on the principles in light of this interpretation.

论斯多葛原理的可分离性和不可分离性

摘要：斯多葛主义的资料来源对斯多葛主义原则的描述相互矛盾。有些人认为这些原则是不可分割的。其他人则认为它们是可分离的。为了解决这个明显的解释困境，我区分了原则的功能和实现这些功能的机构。虽然原则在实现它们的角色时不能分离，但斯多葛学派的混合理论要求实现这些角色的身体在物理上是可分离的。根据这种解释，我提出了进一步研究这些原则的策略。
