23326	In the third century Stoicism died out, replaced by Platonism, with Aristotelian ethics [Frede,M]
	Full Idea: By the second century CE Aristotelianism and Platonism had begun to eclipse Stoicism, and by the end of the third century Stoicism had no followers. All philosophers now opted for some form of Platonism, but including Aristotle's ethical principles.
	From: Michael Frede (A Free Will [1997], 04)
	A reaction: The idea that Aristotelian ethics dominated that period is new to me. Stoic influence remained strong in Augustine, and hence in Christianity.

23335	In late antiquity nearly all philosophers were monotheists [Frede,M]
	Full Idea: I am inclined to think that almost all philosophers in late antiquity were monotheists.
	From: Michael Frede (A Free Will [1997], 08)
	A reaction: I'm not sure when late antiquity begins, in this remark. Maybe as early as 100 CE. Epictetus talks of Zeus as if he is supreme.
