Description: The ancient Greeks and Romans were pretty familiar with the phenomenon of warfare. Through violent confrontations, they expanded their empires and protected the outskirts from invasions by enemies, like the Persians in the East and the Germanic tribes in the North. The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, for example, fought many wars during his time in reign while still trying his best to follow Stoic teachings and to live well. History shows that Stoics weren’t pacifists, as in that they abstained from violence. But in ancient Stoic literature, we do find objections against war. This video explores ancient Stoic opinions on war and why they opposed it. Why War Is Madness (According to the Stoics).
