On Moral Ends
Philosopher who added pleasure to virtue/the honourable as the end of goods
Callipho added pleasure to the honourable;
Callipho added nothing to virtue but pleasure;
and three in which the honourable comes with some addition — those of Polemo, of Callipho, of Diodorus;
Lucullus
Philosopher who held pleasure joined with honor as the highest good, later considered by the speaker as a middle path.
But Callipho judged that pleasure and honour are the ends;
I can be in the middle, so that, since Aristippus, as though we had no soul, guards the body alone, while Zeno, as though we were devoid of body, embraces the soul alone, I should follow Callipho — whose opinion indeed Carneades so zealously kept defending that he even seemed to approve it;
Tusculan Disputations
Philosopher who combined pleasure and honour as goods
Dinomachus and Callipho coupled pleasure with honour, but Diodorus the Peripatetic joined freedom from pain to honour.
The same will be the opinion of Callipho and Diodorus, each of whom so embraces honour that he holds that all things which are without it are to be set far behind.
