Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that focuses on personal ethics informed by a system of logic and views on the natural world. Founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BCE, Stoicism teaches that virtue (i.e., moral excellence) is based on knowledge and that the wise live in harmony with the divine Reason (also known as the Logos) that governs nature.
