Stoa Conversations: Stoicism Applied

CHAPTER

Stoicism: Endurance and Character

This chapter explores the Roman Stoic ideal of immovability and endurance, as articulated by Marcus Aurelius, urging individuals to frame challenges as opportunities for personal growth. It emphasizes that adversity is not inherently damaging; rather, it is one’s perception and reaction that define the experience of misfortune. Through the lens of Stoicism, the chapter underscores the belief in human capacity for ethical perfection and the importance of maintaining virtue in spite of life's difficulties.
