[10e] Name this ancient school of philosophy followed by Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. This school’s goal of living in accordance with nature lends its name to a type of person able to calmly endure suffering.
ANSWER: Stoicism [or being stoic]
[10h] Stoics considered this virtue of being nobly “above” pettiness and meanness to be a subtype of courage. According to Musonius Rufus, Stoic sages never experienced emotional suffering because they are in this “elevated” state.
ANSWER: magnanimity [or megalopsychia or magnanimitas; accept being magnanimous; accept greatness of mind or great-souled or high-mindedness]
[10m] The Roman Stoic Seneca wrote that having magnanimity means that no events could lead to this state. Seneca called this state a “temporary madness” in his Latin essay “on” it.
