- Paedagogus
Paedagogus, second in the great trilogy of
Clement of Alexandria .Having laid a foundation in the knowledge of divine truth in the first book, he goes on in the "Paedagogus" to develop a Christian ethic. His design does not prevent him from taking a large part of his material from the Stoic
Musonius Rufus , the master ofEpictetus ; but for Clement the real instructor is the incarnate Logos.The first book deals with the religious basis of Christian morality, the second and third with the individual cases of conduct. As with Epictetus, true virtue shows itself with him in its external evidences by a natural, simple, and moderate way of living.
