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 beginning again; that doctrine is called (*) “eternal recurrence.” (-5[1])Chrysippus and Cleanthes were (10[1])early members of this school, a book from which claims that one should only be concerned with one’s own actions, since they are (10[1])all that one can control. Zeno of Citium founded this school whose Roman members included Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. For 10 points, name this (10[1])Hellenistic school of thought whose name is now associated with bearing pain without showing emotion. ■END■
