Stoicism
Became the most important philosophy in the Hellenistic world. Stoicism gave theoretical expression to the world-mindedness of the age. Offering an answer to the problem of community and alienation posed by the decline of the city-state. At the core Stoicism was the belief that universe contained a principle of order, variously called Divine Reason (Logos), the Divine Fire, or God. This ruling principle underlay reality and permeated all things; it ordered the cosmos according to law. The Stoics reasoned that, being part of the universe people too share in the Logos the operated throughout the cosmos.

The views of the Stoic are that wise persons ordered their lives according to the natural law. Stoicism had an enduring influence on the Western mind. Beliefs that by nature we are all members of one family, that each person is significant, that distinctions of rank and race are of no with natural law.
