While Stoicism calls for the banishment of emotions all together‚ Smith advocates for putting oneself in another’s situation and imagine their feelings.

Consistent with the Stoic

Stoic v. Epicurean: The Battle of Moral Theories Peter Calhoun The Coolest Cutter At Camp After critically analyzing both Stoic and Epicurean moral theories‚ I found myself intrigued by their different beliefs. I was fascinated by the Epicurean pleasure filled and painless seeking lifestyle. I was also enticed by the teleological beliefs of the Stoics.
