Ancient Law
The Greek philosophical school teaching that the good life consists in living according to nature.
It is notorious that this proposition—live according to nature—was the sum of the tenets of the famous Stoic philosophy.
Just in the same way the influence on jurisprudence of the Greek theories, which had their most distinct expression in Stoicism, consisted not in the number of specific positions which they contributed to Roman law, but in the single fundamental assumption which they lent to it.
History of Modern Philosophy from Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time
Ancient Stoic philosophical tradition revived in the Renaissance as a counter to Scholasticism.
Plato and Neoplatonism, Epicurus and the Stoa are opposed to Scholasticism, the real Aristotle to the transformed Aristotle of the Church and the distorted Aristotle of the schools.
