Daily Trivium: The Sophists vs The Stoics
The Sophists were known for their skepticism and relativism, believing that truth and morality were subjective.
They emphasized rhetoric and the art of argumentation, often appealing to emotions to win debates, which led some to view them as morally dubious for prioritizing effective persuasion over objective truth.
In contrast, the Stoics believed in an objective moral order governed by reason and nature, advocating for virtue, self-control, and living in accordance with this universal law.
They viewed emotions as irrational forces that could cloud judgment and advocated for emotional detachment and inner peace, aiming for a state of tranquility (apatheia) through rational thought.
Stoicism taught that the wise person experiences rational emotions (eupatheia) such as joy, wish, and caution, which are clear-headed and appropriate to the situation.
