Disposition to Independence from External Circumstances in Greek Philosophy in the Period of early Hellenism

It is established that the desire for independence from external circumstances is not a common feature for Greek philosophy in the period of early Hellenism. The strengthening of this feature in the early Hellenistic philosophy was associated with the formation of Hellenistic monarchies. Recognition of dependence on external conditions, primarily on politics and friendship, was associated with the preservation of the policy system.
