Summary
The Megarians and the Stoics were different philosophical schools, and also presented internal variations in a number of respects. Their logics, however, are interrelated enough to be usefully outlined together.1 To indicate their differences and to identify historical connections between the two, I use biographical data, on the one hand, and continuities in logical developments, on the other.
