Question

This school’s philosophy of language juxtaposes truth-bearing propositions, or assertibles, with the lekta, or “sayable”. (15[1])A theoretical “perfect sage” of this school never makes epistemological mistakes because they only assent to cognitive impressions. This school posited a deterministic cycle where the world reaches a great conflagration before beginning again; (-5[1])that doctrine is called (*) “eternal recurrence.” (-5[1])Chrysippus and Cleanthes were early (10[1])members of this school, a book in which claims that one should only be concerned with one’s own actions, (10[1])since they are all that one can control. Zeno of Citium founded this school whose Roman members included Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. For 10 points, name this Hellenistic (10[1])school of thought whose name is now associated with bearing pain without showing emotion. (10[1])■END■
