| Description: | A philosophy that saw self-possession as the key to an existence lived "in accordance with nature", Stoicism called for restraint of animal instincts and severing of emotional ties. Seneca's contribution to a seemingly unsympathetic creed was to transform it into an inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind. ''It is philosophy that has the duty of protecting us ... without it no one can lead a life free of fear or worry'' |
