“Sandrine Bergès on philosophy‘s rigid and also porous spheres for public life and the home, via readings of Aristotle, Hierocles, and Musonius Rufus. (aeon)

Hierocles the Stoic is famous among ancient philosophers for his account of Stoic oikeiôsis – moral development – as a progression through concentric circles starting from the desire for self-preservation to cosmopolitanism. Stoic moral development consists in first making oneself ‘at home’ in one’s body, then we reach out to those in the circles closest to us: parents and siblings, then to those farther from us – our other relatives and neighbours, our countrymen and women – and finally to the whole world. The concentric circles are important because they offer a clear and vivid explanation of what the Stoics mean when they declare that they owe moral allegiance to the entire world.

[…]

Before the dawning
          Of my life;
I was the river
Forever winding
To purple dreaming,
I was the glowing
Of youthful Springtime,
I was the singing
Of golden songbirds,—

[…]

I was the vision
Of youthful striving,
I was the summer,
I was the autumn,
I was the All-time—
      I was love.

Revery, Fenton Johnson
