I associate Stoicism more with Leading-
/
, as it appears to be popular primarily with static-types (especially rational statics) over dynamic-types. Stoicism deals with the relationship one has with
and
. These are dynamic elements outside of the direct control of individuals. For some Stoics, this involved developing ones relationship with
more strongly. Stoicism does not disparage
. It dealt with minimizing negative
while maximizing positive
, albeit with disciplined restraint. This is as much of a
-seeking goal as it is a
-devaluing one. For example, LII frequently try to minimize negative
through a certain measure of indifference and aloofness. Even when a LII is experiencing a positive
rush, they will attempt to maintain some semblance of composure. While the Logos, the underlying divine order, exists as a
principle that the Stoic sought to determine its nature. But moreover, Stoicism did not concern itself tremendously with
/
so much as it did with the here and now of one's surroundings. There was even a certain amount of criticism towards
, as it sometimes tries to control what is outside of one's control. Furthermore, using
against one's fellow humanity was seen as antithetical to Stoic philosophy. And as can be seen through some of Stoicism's most renowned followers, Stoics typically falls along
/
lines.
Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoicism, was likely a EII.
Chrysippus of Soli, third head of the Stoic School following Zeno and Cleanthes, was probably a LII. He expanded the teachings of Zeno and Stoicism, such that Chrysippus is considered to be a second founder of Stoicism.
Seneca the Younger, a Roman Statesman and Stoic writer, was a ILE.
Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Philosopher-Emperor and one of the most prominent Stoics, was an EII.
But part of the problem with Stoicism is that its popularity was also its death, as everyone eventually became a self-proclaimed Stoic, even its contemporary Christians. So Stoicism to some degree lost its prominence through its dilution. Stoicism attracted a number of admirers in the modern era, especially
Baruch Spinoza (ILE/LII) and
Albert Einstein (ILE).
