मत
Zeno founded Stoicism, which divided philosophy into logic, physics and ethics. The cosmos, he taught, is a rational whole permeated by a divine logos; to live well is to “live in agreement with nature”, which means living according to reason. Only virtue is truly good and only vice truly bad; health, wealth and reputation are “indifferent”, though some are preferable to others. Passions such as fear and craving arise from false judgements and are to be overcome. His Republic sketched an ideal community of the wise without temples or law courts. Developed by Chrysippus, Stoicism became one of the most widely held philosophies of the Hellenistic and Roman world.
जीवन और संदर्भ
Zeno came from Citium in Cyprus and, according to tradition, turned to philosophy after a shipwreck brought him to Athens. He studied with the Cynic Crates and other teachers, then around 300 BCE began teaching in the Stoa Poikile, the Painted Porch on the agora, which gave the Stoic school its name. His writings survive only in fragments.
