Not a stoicyzmie taught in faculties of philosophy, I want to write a few sentences here, but about my private, who have built their own use. And if something about the history, it is only by its importance for me to explain.
So my stoicism, is one who can not afford to reject the naive cosmogony of 2000 years. On receiving no distribution of matter in its passive and active variant, which, given our present knowledge is no longer needed. He recognizes, however, some major historical Stoicism demands, above all, stoical materialism.
This is a rejection of materialism and dualistic Platonic quirks. This is only possible to reconcile with the modern scientism and understanding of concepts, point of view.
This recognition of determinism, but at the same time nieodgadywalności fate, which does the determinism is not incompatible, but rather it determines, allow his existence.
is materialism, which leaves room for experience, experience of holiness and divinity present in the world, while recognizing the individual nature of such experiences.
This philosophy, which does not close the road to the religious emotions which I can discover in the contemplation of natural beauty, in awe of the consistency of her rights, as well as the Catholic Mass, the sacred music and poetry.
scientism is also aware, however, that any reductionism that the translation of some of the rights of other rights, though simpler, is just a better, more precise way of describing reality, not its explanation. That is the unveiling of another, deeper, more exciting, more holy mystery.
This tendency to pantheism (or panpsychizmu), which the sanctity and divinity wants to invest in what really exists, but "beyond us" - out of our mind.
This philosophy, which does not reject the myth, on the contrary, it feeds him for building ethics. Which recognizes that the myth we are so for practical reasons, and most likely due to our mental constructions simply doomed. It's comical to see the myth of enemies who unknowingly take on the roles of heroes hated his story. An excellent example is the activity of Richard Dawkins, like the prophets of the Old Testament we cruel revenge scary non-existent, which will send us an epidemic of the virus of the mind (a terrible mental illness), would send the war (religious) intolerance, collapse of civilization, if not reject the idolatrous worship of God imaginary. Modern Stoic - for what I believe happened - accept my dependence on myths, and live with them in friendship, which finds its strength.
My newly-Stoicism is also ethics, which derives its right from the wise and noble recognize ourselves in others, rather than the literal sense and a false promise if individual posthumous awards.
This recognition of our dependence on fate, which is more powerful than us, and we are powerless against him. But at the same time recognizing that it is not malicious towards us or cruel, but rather - always gives us a chance to find harmony. This school wise to put up with him and find a good hand in everything to us. This ability to self-discovery and enjoy learning from each experience.
This is the most consistent form of materialism, which can connect to seeking the truth theists, deists, pantheists, atheists and agnostics. And hence my suggestion for them.
This recognition for the size and the wisdom of this great tradition of thinking, which were precursors to Zeno, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius. This admiration for their understanding of the human soul and the nature of existence.
Why should I look for in the Far East, what is at hand and what was told more understandable, the European language? And what does not offer me any false promises, no "techniques" that supposedly can free me from suffering? Stoicism, a school adopting such a fate, as it is.
