stoista

Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that originated in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. It is characterized by its emphasis on virtue, self-control, and the pursuit of wisdom. Stoics believed that virtue is the only true good, and that happiness comes from living in accordance with nature and one's rational faculty. They taught that external events are beyond our control, and that we should focus on what we can control: our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Stoicism was influential in ancient Rome and has continued to have a significant impact on Western philosophy and psychology. Key figures in Stoicism include Zeno of Citium, Cleanthes, Chrysippus, and Seneca. The Stoics developed a system of logic and ethics that has been studied and practiced for over two thousand years.
