STOICISM (jan 1, 336 BC – jan 1, 264 BC)
Description:
He said that he can attain freedom and tranquillity only by being oblivious to material comforts, external fortune, and by dedicating himself to a life guided by the principles of reason and virtue. The universe is a harmonious and causally related whole.
Stoic theology is pantheistic: there is no God outside of nature or the world; it is the world itself in its totality that is divine.
