The Ancient Stoic Path Toward Virtue and Well Being

The traditional form of stoicism does include providence. However, if one intends to follow the ancient stoic path toward virtue and well being, a providential cosmos is an inseparable part of that path. To argue otherwise requires one to either deny the veracity of the stoic path as it is expressed in the stoic text,. or to create an entirely new, non teleological version of stoicism like the one which was created by lawrence becker.
