Description

Stoicism posits that the universe is governed by a rational order, often referred to as logos. This concept suggests that nature operates according to a set of laws that can be understood through reason. For Stoics, aligning oneself with nature involves recognizing this rational structure and striving to live in accordance with it. This alignment fosters a sense of peace and clarity, as individuals learn to accept events beyond their control while focusing on their own reactions and choices. Consequently, nature serves not only as a backdrop for human existence but also as a guide for ethical living, encouraging individuals to cultivate virtues that reflect the inherent order of the cosmos.
