The Four Pillars of stoicism

Wisdom: This pillar emphasizes the importance of knowledge and understanding. Wisdom in Stoicism involves discerning what is true and making judgments based on rational thought. It’s about understanding the nature of the world and the self, and making decisions that align with virtue.

Courage: Courage, in the Stoic sense, is not just about bravery in the face of physical danger but also about facing life’s challenges with fortitude. This means enduring hardships, overcoming fears, and standing firm in one’s principles, even when it is difficult.

Justice: Justice in Stoicism relates to fairness and the treatment of others with respect and integrity. It involves recognizing the interconnectedness of humanity and acting in ways that are fair and beneficial to others, fulfilling one’s social and moral duties.

Temperance: Temperance is about self-control and moderation. It involves managing one’s desires and impulses, avoiding excess, and maintaining balance in all aspects of life. This pillar emphasizes restraint and the pursuit of a measured, disciplined life.
