In the premises?

Stoic Physics, in the premises, is a natural Philosophy in terms whereof an attempt is made to understand and describe the natural processes of divine reason or logos which are at work in the Universe.

What does "in the premises" mean? I think it means "in what has been said before". Is it correct?

I also don't understand the use of "in terms whereof". Could you explain this to me!

Thanks!
