Ancient Roman Philosophers Quotes I Wish I Knew 10 Years Ago!
The majority of philosophy that the Romans accepted and practiced was largely based on Greek ideas that they came into contact with as Rome conquered Greece, much like Roman mythology and theatre. Epicureanism and Stoicism were the two main schools of philosophy in Rome, though they were by no means the only ones.
A philosophy known as ecclesiasm holds that the pursuit of pleasure is the highest good and the path to peace, freedom from fear, and relief from physical suffering. Epicurus is credited with founding this school of thought, and Lucretius' "On the Nature of Things" is the primary extant work that conveys its principles to the general public.
According to the stoic philosophy, life is best conducted in accordance with reason, on the basis of knowledge, and with full indifference to both pleasure and pain. Zeon developed this school of thought, and it has endured to the present day as a very prominent school of thought. The writings of Seneca and Marcus Aurelius are the oldest literature still in existence that present the principles of stoicism.
