The Two Aspects of Stoicism: Inner Citadel and Social Nature
This chapter discusses the two aspects of Stoicism - the focus on developing an inner citadel and the social nature of the philosophy. It explains that Stoicism teaches that external things are beyond our control and already determined, and therefore resilience is necessary. The chapter also explores the idea of being social in Stoicism, highlighting the Stoic view on the distractions of gossip and societal factors, and emphasizing the true social nature as recognizing our interconnectedness and shared fate.
