Abstract

Stoicism has a very precise place inside the philosophical system of Eric Weil. Along with Epicureanism, he is in the seventh category of the Logic of Philosophy, I, posterior to the category of Object and anterior to the category God.The category studies the attitude of a man who discovers himself just as reasonable in the world of Reason and finds himself sent to his individuality, seeking his happiness as a man, that is, as a sentient being. This article aims to make a comparison of some aspects of the Morale Philosophy of Eric Weil with the ethical positions of Stoicism.
