ANTIOCHUS OF ASCALON (1st century B.C.)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 132 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANTIOCHUS OF ASCALON (1st century B.C.) ,
Greek
  philosopher. His
philosophy
  consisted in an
attempt
  to, reconcile the doctrines of his teachers
Philo
  of Larissa and Mnesarchus the Stoic. Against the scepticism of the former, he held that the
intellect
  has in itself a sufficient test of truth; against. Mnesarchus, that happiness, though its
main
  factor is virtue, depends also on outward circumstances. This electicisnt is known as the Fifth
Academy
  (see
ACADEMY
 , GREEK). His writings are lost, and we are indebted for information to Cicero (Acad. Pr. ii. 43), who studied under him at Athens, and Sextus Empiricus (Pyrrh. hyp. i. 235). Antiochus lectured also in Rome and
Alexandria
 .
See R. Hoyer, De Antiocho Ascalonita (
Bonn
 , 1883).
