The purpose of the article is to identify the factors that influenced the formation of the idea of the decadent nature of Hellenistic philosophy. It is established that Hegel and E. Zeller played an important role in the formation of this idea. The formation of the idea of the inferiority of Hellenistic philosophy was influenced by the problem of sources. Serious gaps in the sources led to a distorted view of the philosophy of Hellenism. Underestimation of the philosophical teachings of Hellenism is the result of the idea of their moral and practical orientation and a low level of speculative and scientific. The negative attitude towards the philosophy of the Stoics, Epicureans and skeptics was promoted by the idea of the dominance of individualism in these teachings. The last factor is the thesis about the decadent nature of the Hellenistic era, which was caused by the loss of political freedom by the Greeks
