Admission Resize text Zeno of Citium, founder of Stoicism (Museo Archeologico di Napoli / Paolo Monti / CC BY-SA 4.0) Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that teaches that virtue, reason, and living in agreement with nature are the keys to a happy and flourishing life. A foundational idea of Stoicism is that people appear to go through life reacting directly to events. That appearance is an illusion. Individuals react to their judgments and opinions—to thoughts about things—not to things themselves. Stoics seek to become conscious of those judgments, to find the irrationality in them, and to choose them more carefully. Drawing from his 2018 book The Practicing Stoic: A Philosophical User's Manual, Ward Farnsworth, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law, presents the heart of Stoic philosophy, offering practical insights about seeing more clearly, living more wisely, and bearing the burdens of life with greater ease.
