Peripatetics




Peripatetics also were those philosophers not having any fixed academy, or building (the academics - Plato and Aristotle) and got the name peripatetic. The three branches of the peripatetics were the Stoics, the Cynics and
the Epicureans.

According to yet other accounts, the Peripatetics were not, in fact, the direct followers of Plato and/or Aristotle, but rather a set of "groupies," perpetually following the philosophers and their students in their daily walk. In particular, the Peripatetics were known for their strong predilection for drink and unruly behavior.
