Stoicism and I
Stoicism figures as part of covenant morality for humanity-the presumption of humanism in that it promotes virtue as a component of human flourishing, in common with Aristotle's eudemonia and Epicurean flourishing. Covenant, then is quite eclectic.
And virtue can lead to happiness, and ti's a virtue to get happy. Virtue and long-range hedonism go hand in hand!
However, stoicism can adhere with naturalism only by denying the supernatural.
Stoics can be active participants in life, whilst accepting its slings and arrows, as Emperor Marcus Aurelius attests.
What would you say?
