Chrysippus was born at Soli in Cilicia about 279 B.C. Little is known of his early life beyond the fact that he grew up in the neighbourhood of Tarsus and perhaps experienced the philosophical disputation of that intellectual centre while still very young.
Chrysippus added that since reason is the soul in man, reason unexercised in life would be indistinguishable from the Logoic dynamics of nature once the individuating qualities of the body vanished, and so only the souls of the wise could properly be said to survive as coherent individualities until the fiery end of time.
Chrysippus elaborated the concept of nature to include "universal and human nature", suggesting that the virtues are not simply reflections of the order of nature but rather an integral part of it.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.10.38
Chrysippus argued that one must not offer an immediate, uncritical assent to these judgments, since the judgments in question are false and, if assented to, will produce an impulse that is excessive, disturbing the soul and impairing one's rational control over oneself and one's affairs.
While Chrysippus' approach might be effective in dealing with a particular situation, it cannot deal with a mood or affective disorder (such as depression or melancholy) that is not directed to a particular situation but rather attaches itself to whatever situation is at hand.
He therefore rejected Chrysippus' conception of the soul as wholly rational in character and introduced a number of counter-examples to show that judgment was neither necessary nor sufficient for emotion.
