Chrysippus

Born circa 280 B.C. in Soli, in Cilicia; died 208 or 205 B.C. Greek philosopher.

Chrysippus is considered the second founder of Stoicism after Zeno of Citium and its chief systematizer. He became head of the Stoic school in Athens after the death of Cleanthes in 232 B.C. Chrysippus wrote more than 700 works, about half of which are devoted to problems of logic; however, only fragments of these works have survived. He elaborated the logic of propositions and established the principle of bivalence, which became the ontological premise of classical logic.

Classical first-order predicate logic considers it to be material, in the sense attributed to it by Philo of Megara (1), but, as it is well known, from ancient times, other manners to understand it have been proposed (remember, for example, the criterion provided by Chrysippus of Soli (2)), a relatively recent approach being, for instance, the one that is to be found in works such as that of Mares (3).
