Stoicism

Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. It teaches that virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge, and that the wise live in harmony with the divine Reason that governs nature. Stoicism has experienced a remarkable revival in the modern era, finding new adherents among entrepreneurs, athletes, military leaders, and ordinary people seeking resilience in uncertain times.
