The ethics of the Hellenistic era, above all Epicurean and Stoic ethics, are the first examples in history of fundamentally universalistic ethics; that is to say, they no longer presuppose the legal framework, the special tradition, or the daily experience of the Greek polis, and they no longer focus on virtues whose features are gleaned from the contemplation of Greek polis- life. Furthermore, in their ethical aims, claims, challenges, and recommendations they no longer insist on a sharp difference between Greeks and barbarians, lords and commoners, men and women, free men and slaves, rich and poor.
