Stoicism

Chapter 1: What Is Meant by Stoicism?

For those of us who live our lives in the real world, there is one branch of philosophy created just for us: Stoicism. It's an approach created to make us more resistant, happy, more virtuous and more sensible-- and subsequently, better individuals, better parents and better professionals.

Stoicism has been a common thread though some of history's great leaders. It has been practiced by Kings, presidents, artists, authors and business owners. Marcus Aurelius. Frederick the Great, Theodore Roosevelt, Adam Smith, Montaigne, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill, General James Mattis-- just among others-- were all influenced by Stoic philosophy.

So what's Stoicism? We will answer this question and more in this guide.

The private diaries of one of Rome's biggest emperors, the personal letters of one of Rome's best playwrights and wisest power brokers, the lectures of a previous servant and exile, turned prominent instructor. Against all chances, some 2 millennia later, these extraordinary documents survive. They contain some of the best wisdom in the history of the world and together, they constitute the bedrock of what's referred to as Stoicism-- an old philosophy that was once one of the most well-known civic disciplines in the West, practiced by the wealthy and the impoverished, the effective and the having a tough time in the pursuit of the Good Life.

Other than to the most avid searchers of wisdom, Stoicism is either unidentified or misconstrued. To the typical person, this dynamic, action-oriented, and paradigm-shifting way of living has become shorthand for emotionlessness. Given the simple fact that the mere reference of philosophy makes most people worried or bored, Stoic philosophy on the surface area seems like the last thing anybody would want to find out about, let alone urgently need in the course of daily life.

It would be hard to find a word that dealt a greater injustice at the hands of the English language than Stoic. In its rightful place, Stoicism is a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, determination, and knowledge: something one uses to live a great life, instead of some esoteric field of academic questions. Certainly, many of history's great minds not only understood Stoicism for what it really is, they sought it out: Frederick the Great, Eugène Delacroix, George Washington, Immanuel Kant, Thomas Jefferson, Matthew Arnold, Walt Whitman, Adam Smith, Ambrose Bierce, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Alexander Percy. Each of them read, studied, quoted, or admired the Stoics. The age-old Stoics themselves were no slouches. The names you encounter on this site in our day-to-day email meditations-- Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus-- belonged to, respectively, a Roman emperor, a former servant who triumphed to be an influential lecturer and friend of the emperor Hadrian, and a well-known playwright and political adviser.

What have all of these and countless other prominent males and females discovered deep in the heart Stoicism that others missed? A lot. Mostly, that it provides much needed strength, wisdom, and stamina for all of life's obstacles.

How Did Stoicism Begin?

Approximately in the year 304 BC, a merchant named Zeno was shipwrecked on a trading trip. He lost almost every little thing. Making his way to Athens, he was introduced to philosophy by the Cynic theorist Crates and the Megarian thinker Stilpo, which changed his life. As Zeno later joked, I made a flourishing trip when I suffered shipwreck. He would later move to what ended up being known as the Stoa Poikile, actually meaning painted deck. Erected in the 5th century B.C.-- the ruins of it are visible still, some 2500 years later-- the painted patio is where Zeno and his disciples gathered for conversation. Though his followers were originally called Zenonians, it is the ultimate credit to Zeno's humility that the philosophical school he established, in contrast to almost every school and religious belief before or since, didn't eventually carry his name.

Chapter 2: Who Were the Stoic Theorists?

Agasicles, who was the king of the Spartans, once quipped that he wanted to be the student of men whose child I should like to be too. It is a very critical consideration we need to make in our look for role
