What is Stoicism?
What is Stoicism, and what do its adherents believe in? Stoicism is a school of thought that emphasizes the control of one's emotions and the ability to maintain a sense of detachment from the events of the world. This detachment, or apathy, is seen as a way to remain rational and clear-headed in the face of adversity. The Stoics believed that by keeping their emotions in check, they could better focus on their actions and make decisions based on reason rather than passion. This philosophy was developed by the Greek philosopher Zeno of Citium in the 4th century BCE, and it quickly gained popularity among those who sought to live a life free from the turmoil of emotion. The Stoics believed that emotions like fear, anger, and grief were harmful to one's mental state and could lead to rash decisions. They instead advocated for a life of rationality and contemplation, in which one could find tranquillity and peace. While Stoicism fell out of favour in the following centuries, it has recently experienced a revival as people have sought ways to deal with the stress and chaos of modern life. The Stoic philosophy can provide a helpful perspective for those who wish to navigate the world with calmness and clarity.
