Stoic Orchard
- Stoicism's ethics, physics, and logic are interconnected, like an orchard's fruit, trees, and fence.
- Focusing solely on ethics without understanding the supporting physics and logic is insufficient for true Stoic practice.
Logos and Virtue
- Stoic philosophy emphasizes a rationally ordered universe where human rationality stems from the same Logos.
- This Logos connects cosmic and human events, urging us to live virtuously in accordance with nature.
Living with Nature
- Living in agreement with nature, a core Stoic doctrine, means aligning with both human and cosmic nature.
- This involves acting virtuously and following the universal law, or Logos, that governs all.
