Book Name: Stoicism and the Art of Happiness
Writer: Donald Robertson
On the off chance that you ask most present day rationalists ‘What’s the importance of life?’ they’ll
most likely simply shrug and state that is an unanswerable inquiry. Be that as it may, the major
schools of old way of thinking each proposed contending answers to that
question. More or less, the Stoics said that the objective (telos, ‘end’ or ‘reason’) of
life is to live reliably in concordance and concurrence with the Nature of the
universe, and to exceed expectations as to our own fundamental nature as levelheaded and
social creatures. This is additionally portrayed as ‘living as indicated by temperance’ or aretê,
in spite of the fact that as you’ll see it’s ideal to think about that word as significance greatness in a
more extensive sense than the word ‘prudence’ regularly suggests – something I’ll clarify
afterward. It’s interchangeable with living carefully.
Indeed, Zeno’s unique Stoic school depended on the investigation of point by point
contentions contained in its many establishing writings. The early Stoics alone supposedly
composed over a thousand ‘books’ (albeit, a portion of these were presumably progressively like
long papers). The first Stoic school vanished alongside the focuses of
other major philosophical schools sooner or later after the sack of Athens by
the Roman despot Sulla in 86 BC. All things considered, Stoicism kept on thriving
for a few centuries, during the Roman Imperial time frame, yet in a more
scattered and fragmentary structure.
