Do we like the Stoics?

>>8690018
meh.

>>8690018
Nah they're just a dumb reddit fad

>>8690018

Why did you think stoics should be capitalized?

>>8690018
I like them, but I'm not sure whether "we" like them

>>8690018
He's a writer you know

>>8690018
The best philosophy is a synthesis of the best qualities of the best philosophies

>>8690059
Anything can be Capitalized.

>>8690018
why would he make that face if he knows someone is going to take a photo

>>8690341
He's a sadboy because the literature crushes his soul

Lit doesn't know if it likes the stoics or not because it doesn't know anything about them.

Only the Christian ones.

>>8690490
Duuuude stop caring so much lmao xxD

>>8690018
>Marcus Aurelius

Yes. Arguably the best

>>8690018
i like being triggered at all times

>>8690570
Haha like just follow the Logos I guess..... If you want lol

>>8690018

Stoicism is a spook.

>>8690018
No.

Stoicism is basic bitch pseudo philosophy for normies, even more than existentialism.

>>8690490

>>8690670 Making my point for me.
>Pseudo philosophy
>Revolutionized logic

>>8690018
i like the stoics. remember lit isn't a person

>>8690670
>>>>/r9k/ go back, nerd

>>8690708
>logic isn't pseudo philosophy
How does it feel being wrong?

>>8690018
No. Lit anons dont like anything because everything is too pleb. They dont even like what they like and what they read. They are superior philosophers, writers, artists and scientists who are held down by evil corporations who injected autism into them while young.

I like the part in Meditations where Aurelius basically says Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

Then why does lit love 80% of the canon?
Seriously, lit is the most positive board on this site. If you try to talk shit about Shakespeare or something, you will (rightly) get called out as an edgelord and disregarded.

Seneca is superb.

>>8691590
He never said anything like that. That is an anti-stoic idea.

>>8690018
The Stoics will be cool when people stop reading them as self-help gurus.

>>8693412
It was an obvious joke.

Crowley said that.

>>8693537
> basically says
He never said it was a direct quote but was similar in meaning. It's also hardly obvious when /lit/ is so bad at understanding the stoics.

Aphorisms are good in small doses
