Scope note
A philosophical movement that flourished in Greek and Roman antiquity. Stoics have always believed that the goal of all inquiry is to provide humanity with a mode of conduct characterized by tranquility of mind and certainty of moral worth, and urged participation in the affairs of humankind. Thus, moral worth, duty, and justice are singularly Stoic emphases, together with a certain sternness of mind.
