Founders

Zeno of Citium (c. 334 - c. 262 BCE) was a Greek philosopher who is widely regarded as the founder of Stoicism. Stoicism is a philosophical system that emerged in the 3rd century BCE and became one of the dominant schools of philosophy in the Greco-Roman world.

Stoicism, the philosophical system Zeno established, is characterized by its emphasis on virtue, wisdom, and rationality. Stoicism teaches that the path to eudaimonia (happiness or flourishing) lies in accepting the natural order of the world and living in accordance with nature.
