Zeno and his school were strict and absolute necessitarians. Every thing was linked together by an inexorable fatality. They made some little CHEYSIPPUS. 135 display of allowing the Pirst Cause a degree of liberty or choice ; hut it was evidently a mere piece of philosophical delusion. Cicero accuses them of this fruitless attempt to reconcile liberty with necessity. * Both Zeno and Chrysippus saw the chfficulty, that if they did not invest man with personal freedom, it was impossible to concei...ve how actions could be considered either praiseworthy or blameable, or entitled to rewards or punishments. They were, therefore, obliged to cede a form of liberty, to harmonize, in some measure, this moral responsibility with the other parts of their system, f The Stoical doctrines, as a whole, present much that is praiseworthy and valuable. The philo- sophers of this school set themselves against the whole mass of vain and conceited quibbling which too often usurped the name and authority of philosophy and true wisdom.
