Stoic passions


Stoic passions are various forms of emotional suffering in Stoicism, a school of Hellenistic philosophy.

The passions are transliterated pathê from Greek.

Chrysippus thought particularly grief,pleasure, fear and desire were evaluative judgements (according to Groenendijk & de Ruyter - p. 83).

The Stoics named four primary passions. In On Passions, Andronicus reported the Stoic definitions of these passions (trans. Long & Sedley, pg. 411, modified):

Numerous subdivisions of the same class are brought under the head of the separate passions. The definitions are those of the translation of Cicero's Tusculan Disputations by J. E. King.
