Description
Stoicism and Emotion explores the complex relationship between emotions and Stoic philosophy. Margaret Graver examines how ancient Greek and Roman Stoics understood emotions as judgments about what is valuable in our surroundings, rather than simply suppressing feelings. The Stoics did not advocate for the suppression of all emotions, but rather sought to perfect the rational mind at its core. This approach involves taking responsibility for one's emotional responses, acknowledging that they can be true or false and right or wrong. Graver delves into the physiological basis of affective responses, the phenomenon of being carried away by emotions, and the occurrence of involuntary feelings. By uncovering the deeper motivations behind Stoic philosophy, Graver sheds light on its enduring relevance to our own emotional experiences.
