La représentation de soi et les différentes formes de l'appropriation chez Hiéroclès (PBerol 9780 VI 29-IX 10)

The contribution is focused on the section of PBerol. 9780 VI, 29-IX, 10 where the Stoic Hierocles deals with the notions of phantasia and horme as the main cognitive tools involved in the process of animal appropriation, and the topic of social or altruistic appropriation, which is of major interest for human behaviour. Three subjects are analysed: first, the idea that animals are naturally disposed to love themselves, which is treated at length by Hierocles; secondly, the role played by representation as evaluative judgement; finally, the forms of appropriation, which include both selfish and altruistic attitudes.
