Abstract:

Stoicism is a philosophical school of oriental origins, initiated in Greece in Helenste era after Alexander the Great’s death (323-336 B. C.), which, in fact, deals with the human behaviour. This school has gained fame not less than what other Greek philosophical schools gained , but also its fame surpassed them, in which the effect and existence of its proponents have lasted for five centuries from the era of its founder the Cypriot Xenon in the late of the fourth century A. D. to the end of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius(161-180 A.D.) reign in the late of the second century A. D. The Stoic philosophy is distinguished from other Greek philosophies that preceded it to be a philosophy based on ethical and spiritual education. Its main job is the mental practice to the bases of ethical behaviour, and contains religious elements that the world is felt needed. Then, it is accepted by people, especially, the rulers that almost all of them become Stoic in the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius reign.
