Stoic(noun): a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining.

传说 Zeno of Citium 在沉船之后一无所有，来到雅典学习哲学，在吸收了犬儒主义和苏格拉底的思想后创立了斯多葛派。

斯多葛派起初以芝诺的名字命名，但为了避免个人崇拜，改为以他们交流思想的聚集地 Stoa Poikile(painted porch) 命名。

理所当然也从中世纪没落，文艺复兴再复活，中间影响了不少哲学家，现在又被各种媒体传播。

• 爱比克泰德
• 马尔库斯·奥列里乌斯

芝诺等前期人物的思想基本只剩传说，留下可考据文档的主要是后期三位。

• 宇宙由 logos 组成
• 伦理：四美德 Courage、Temperance、Justice、Wisdom
• 对抗 passion（狂热，例如愤怒）
• 追求 Apatheia（冷静），提倡通过反省和控制情感来实现内在平静与幸福

都是一些有效达到 Apatheia 的方法。

控制的二分法

The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own …

— Epictetus

非常接近 REBT

Run down the list of those who felt intense anger at something: the most famous, the most unfortunate, the most hated, the most whatever: Where is all that now? Smoke, dust, legend…or not even a legend. Think of all the examples. And how trivial the things we want so passionately are.

— Marcus Aurelius

To love only what happens, what was destined. No greater harmony.
