going over and over again how short our lives are the only way to get some sort of motivation for wanting to do something with this very narrow issue of existence eventually have. Humans, as ants, trying to build a large colony in which only left our well-know bit. The Stoics were a group that built myrmex very lucid ideas, from my point of view, for its time.
can say that this school approached with firm steps, in what would later become the empiricism of Locke. The representation cataleptic, of which they speak, is the printed representation of a particular object in our understanding. From this view, the Stoics are almost saying that people only receive impressions of that object, and we understand from our senses, beyond conjecture only.
course, the Stoics, with Berkeley subsequently denied the existence of the object, what would also be a clear indication nominalism, that is, deny the reality of an object in itself. According to other interpretations, as Cicero an analogy exists with respect to the representation cataleptic and the real existence of the object:
He (Cicero) compared open hand and fingers extended to representation pure and simple hand against which act to hold, the agreement, the closed hand in hand, understanding cataleptic. In short, both hands tightly on one another is the science, which gives a true and complete possession of the object. [1]
The empiricist criterion of the Stoics, where the idea to our mind as a tabula rasa (our mind is like a blank sheet of paper, and our thought is constructed through perceptions, not perceptions, we could not think), also emanates a future point of view philosophy and psychology abroad.
His conception of the cosmos is also curious and remarkable between waves which were planted at the time. Heraclitus took wing idea that everything flows (pantheism), and everything is set up by an active ingredient which is the cause or God. What I find most interesting is the idea that the world is cyclical. There is a time when all the stars return to the site where they were at the beginning and after a big explosion, everything returns to happen again.
This is an outline of what would be the amazing idea of \u200b\u200bNietzsche on Time (The Eternal Return), a theory that seems to be very close to or passing in the universe, seeing it from a completely deterministic view. Too bad that when things happen again is intended to do the same things as always, I can not give advice to my future self, because any loophole in the world left behind may be burned in the conflagration before it all starts again.
The ethical side of the Stoics call me a little less attention to "live according to nature." Although the Stoics give freedom to man despite having a doctrine based on causality, I think it was necessary to say that there is no middle between right or wrong, just to encourage us to turn to virtue.
