Question

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