ZENO
THE STOIC
Method
Stoicism was a philosophy to be lived. It united the three strands common to Greek philosophy -
logic
,
physics
and
ethics
- into a comprehensive guide to life. Zeno taught them in that order, leaving the way man should live as the final consideration based on the mastery of the other two. Accomplishment in
logic
and
dialectic
was vital to ensure actions were based on sound reasoning, to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
