• W2076194474 abstract "The Two Faces of Stoicism: Rousseau and Freud AMI~LIE OKSENBERG RORTY Nor do the Stoics mean that the soul of their wisest man resists the first visions and sudden fantasies that surprise [him]: but [he] rather consents that, as it were to a natural subjection, he yields.... So likewise in other passions, always provided his opinions remain safe and whole, and.., his reason admit no tainting or alteration, and he in no whit consents to his fright and sufferance. Montaigne, Essays, I. 1 THE STOICS ARE A WEIGHTY EMBARRASSMENTto their friends who, like myself, want to defend them from the charges that their views are at best vague or ludicrous, perhaps offensive or inconsistent. There is no doubt that some of their pronouncements seem material for Aristophanic comedy, others callous and yet others incoherent. And there is also no doubt that they openly defy common sense and deliberately change the terminology they inherit, introducing neologisms ad hoc. And yet, and yet--it is no accident that they continue, rightly continue, to have a powerful hold on ordinary belief and acute philosophical reflection. Here--in what is itself a parody--are some of the commonplaces familiarly attributed to the Stoics.' First, the notorious matter of Stoic apatheia. Diogenes Laertius reports that I believe, but cannot here argue, that despite the signficant differences between early, middle and late Stoics, the classical Stoics shared a common agenda. It is for this reason that I have licensed myself to refer to widely different texts, attempting as best I can to avoid prejudging my case. I think Aulus Gellius is right: the fifth book of the Discoursesof Epictetus... as arranged by Arrian undoubtedly agreels] with the writings of Zeno and Chrysippus (Attic Nights, 19. 1. x4). For a detailed discussion of Seneca's complex relation to the early Stoics, see Brad Inwood, Seneca and Psychological Dualism inJacques Brunschwig and Martha Nussbaum, eds., Passions and Perceptions (Cambridge, 1993). See alsoJ. M. Rist, Stoic Philosophy(Cambridge, 1969), 201. [3~5] 336 JOURNAL OF THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY 34:3 JULY 1996 the Stoics believe that the wise man is apathes, without passions (DL 7.1142o ). Seneca presents a stern interpretation of this doctrine: Our people [the Stoics] expel passions altogether; the Peripatetics moderate them (Sencca, Letters 116.1). The virtuous man, tortured on the rack, having lost children and friends, seeing his city destroyed and the activities of his life come to naught, can avail himself of something--his virtue, his rationality, his philosophic activity; they are the same--that secures his contentment (eudaimonia) (Seneca, Letters, 92.3; Cicero, Tusculan Disputations 5.4o-4 l, 81-8~; LS 63 L,M).2 But despite his apatheia, the sage is said to have general benign affections (eupatheiai): joy, friendliness, cheerfulness, piety, each of which encompasses a range of more specific attitudes (DL 7.116; LS 65F).s He is vigilant for his improvement, he honors (sebesthai) his parents, is actively devoted to the welfare of his children (philostorgian), and--as his situation permits--takes an active part in politics (DL 7.117-18, 1~o-~1; Cicero, De Fro. 3. 6~-68; LS 57F). How can he serve his parents and children without succumbing to the host ofpathe that such devotion brings, or be active in politics without suffering grief?. How can we understand, let alone endorse, the apparent callousness of a life focused on its own virtue, unmoved by the consequences of the natural activities that it is enjoined to follow, denying that the failures that often attend them are losses to oneself?4 Secondly, obdurate passions--fluttering agitations (ptoiaO that prompt the trouble and turmoil of fruitless endeavors--are mistaken judgments that can be corrected by revising the erroneous beliefs that engender or constitute them. Instead of suffering them passively, we can--as we might say-- objectify them, observing them with equanimity, concentrating on leading a life of austere virtue. But since passions are also physical states, correcting them seems to involve more than changing one's mind. The Stoic sage must, it seems, have a special kind of constitution. Is his apatheia achieved once and for all, or is it an unending task? And..." @default.
