PEREZ PONCE, José Luis. Is Marcus Aurelius an Aristonian stoic? A review of Marcus Aurelius’supposed approach to the Aristonian axiology. Nova tellus [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.1, pp.119-150.  Epub 31-Mar-2023. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2023.41.1.2300s01x06.

In this article I maintain that Marcus Aurelius does not subscribe to the heterodox axiology of the stoic Aristo of Chios, but that he is faithful to the orthodox Stoic axiology. In rejecting that adherence, I differ from Julia Annas and Geert Roskam who see a strong influence of Aristo on Marcus Aurelius. I also differ from Pierre Hadot because, even though he rejects that influence as well, I do not totally agree with his reasoning. In order to question that influence, I will offer a reasoning different from his.
