Zeno - The Story of the Lental Soup
Zeno's great breakthrough was to see that there was a way in which you could adopt the same socratic value system, but lead a very conventional life. The goal of life according to zeno is actually to make your life totally in conformity with nature. It would be absurd for us to go on strike and say we don't want to be ill - it would muddy our relation to the world. And what he meant by 'muddying' the relation of your foot to the world, as well as how much money you can get from business or other activities such as politics are all part of his project.
