Zeno is a Universalist figure who is a Universalist teacher in the Militia alley
Stoic or Stoicin
The second philosophical school of thought from Greek times, before the country was conquered by the Romans was the philosophical school of the Stoic or Stoicin.
The main character is Zeno.
Named by the Stoa people because Zeno always gives lessons in the alleys with many milestones or Stoa.
As with Aristotle, when he became the Master of philosophy at the University of Philosophy in Athens, he had the habit of giving lessons as he walked more and more, so his philosophical school was called peripatetic.
Differences in the Teachings of Zeno and Epicurus
The teachings of Zeno philosophy are in stark contrast to the teachings of Epicurus.
For the teachings of Epicurus are rooted in man as an atoom, and his individualistic view of life, whereas if the teachings of Zeno are universalistic, and their universalism does not only include the Greeks, as taught in Aristotle's philosophy, but encompasses all humanity and is psychic, all humanity, therefore the distinction between the Greeks and the barbarians, between the free and the enslaved, vanished, and then came the morality that enabled the formation of the world empire, in which everyone had the same position as a citizen of the world.
Therefore, by the Stoic the people who live in the society are described as a unity and which is abstract, so this is what allows the unity of mankind to be created.
The applicable law is the Law of Nature; The laws of Nature are eternal and unchanging.
Among these Laws of Nature is our intellect, which enables us to know all things. And this is what gives human beings the possibility to form the nations of the world.
Thus the Stoos put the teachings of the Law of Nature taught by Aristotle in the center of their thoughts on the state and the law, and at the same time changed the meaning / human being of a creature with national and moral feelings, into an abstract and rational thinker.
As a result of the preceding situation, the practice of the teachings of the Stoos is twofold, namely on the one hand depicting human beings who feel empty in a society that is experiencing corruption, in the sense of social-ethical decay, while on the other hand the Stoans show also the way out of the decay of society.
As well as the collapse of this country with minimum-ethical conditions.
The Stoans, with their universalistic teachings, actually wanted to teach that they had to adapt to the order of the international world, and thus practically kill the nature of national democracy as taught by Aristotle.
At the same time, the Romans were spreading the wings of their world empire, so the Romans would transfer this Stoa philosophy from the Greeks as something very useful for them, namely to create the world empire.
Thus came we in Roman times.
