Résumé
At this workshop I presented a paper titled “Officia calculemus. An attempt of integration of the Stoics’ methods of the εὕρεσις καθήκοντος”. In my presentation I examined how the Stoics, particularly the Early ones, dealt with the question of the so-called “discovery of the befitting act”, i.e. a procedure to determine the behaviour fit for a certain agent in a certain circumstance. The first claim I defended is that, according to the Stoics, this determination requires that one considers multiple factors, pertaining to the personality of the agent, their social network and environment, as well as to a moral ideal. I further claim that, for this reason, the Stoics designed different heuristic methods, though some ancient sources suggest that they also envisaged various ways to integrate multiple methods into a single one.
