Description:
Abstract:
For the first time in the history of Western philosophy, values are thematized as an explicit problem of philosophy, especially of ethics, in the Stoics. In their many contributions, the Stoics understand the problem of making sense of and valuing the elements of reality in terms of values. Thus, their theory of human existence and action begins to be oriented towards the notion of the value of things, persons, and our actions. It is also here that, for the first time, emotions (thymic and desiring states in general) are explicitly recognized as states involved in the recognition of values and our attitudes toward them.
