Dictionaries - Easton's Bible Dictionary - Stoics. Stoics [N] [S] a sect of Greek philosophers at Athens, so called from the Greek word stoa i.e., a porch or portico, where they have been called the Pharisees of Greek paganism.. The founder of the Stoics was Zeno, who flourished about B.C. 300.
This article examines the Stoics' contributions to philosophy of mind. The Stoics constructed one of the most advanced and philosophically interesting theories of mind in the classical world. As in contemporary cognitive science, the Stoics rejected the idea that the mind is an incorporeal entity. Instead they argued that the mind (or soul) must be something corporeal and something that obeys the laws of physics. Moreover, they held that all mental states and acts were states of the corporeal soul.
