In this chapter, Cladio Majolino inquires into the Stoic lineage of phenomenology. He sets out from the fact that Husserl, in contrast to most other phenomenologists, praises the Stoics for their acuity and originality, and that Jean-Paul Sartre and Gilles Deleuze, for different reasons and without specific reference to Husserl’s discussions of the Stoics, suggest that Husserl’s concept of noema parallels various aspects of Stoic philosophy, in particular its doctrine of the lekton. The first part of the chapter discusses to what extent Sartre and Deleuze manage to demonstrate that Husserl’s concept of noema reproduces central features of the Stoic lekton as well as the various assumptions underlying their interpretations. The second part discusses Husserl’s explicit account of the lekton and its real significance for the broad project of a formal, “apophantic” logic correlated to a formal ontology. The chapter sheds light on an often neglected aspect of the relationship between phenomenology and ancient philosophy, the extent of phenomenology’s Stoic lineage, and helps identify some still unexploited conceptual resources in Husserl’s phenomenology.
