“…These are the emotions that are morally permitted, provided that they are compatible with virtue and the exercise of reason (see Graver, 2007, ch. 2; Nussbaum, 2009, 398–401; Inwood, 1987, 172–4). They are affective reactions characterized by the right attitude of reservation toward externals.…”

This paper provides an overview of women's engagement with Stoic ethics in early modern England (c. 1600–1700). It builds on recent literature in the field by demonstrating that there is a positive gender‐inclusive narrative to be told about Stoic philosophy in this time—one that incorporates women's specific concerns and responds to women's lived experiences. To support this claim, we take an interdisciplinary approach and examine several different genres of women's writing in the period, including letters, poems, plays, educational texts, and moral essays. In these writings, we argue, a distinctive conception of Stoic therapy emerges. Women embrace well‐known aspects of the Stoic philosophy—such as living in agreement with nature, the importance of self‐government, and the ideal of freedom from the passions—but they also allow room for the cultivation of eupatheiai or life‐affirmative feelings, such as feelings of respect, affection, and good will toward other people.

In the core argument of Tusculan Disputation 1, the interlocutor M identifies four qualities or behaviors of the soul that render it immortal: motus, memoria, inventio , and philosophia . The first three of these activities correspond to three of the activities typically prescribed for the orator. A consideration of Cicero’s discussion of these activities in various rhetorical works reveals that he tends to treat each of them with unique philosophical depth, connecting each to psychic activity. Based on the arguments of Tusc. Disp. 1 then, the orator, in composing and delivering speeches, is practicing the highest behavior of his immortal soul and therefore is doing something worthy, whether in the field of public oratory or rhetorical philosophy.

La trattazione vetero-stoica dell’ira: componenti logiche e caratteri fisiologici

The paper compares the two components of the Stoic definition of pathos, the logico-linguistic component and the physiological, ‘pneumatic’ one, in order to examine the role that each of them plays in the onset of pathos, its persistence in the human soul, its possible eradication. The analysis is focused on anger (ὀργή) which reveals some peculiarities, especially as regards its logical structure, due to the fact that this passion seems to be the combination of two different feelings. The anger indeed is classified as a species of desire but the description of its onset also includes pain.
