Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium. It reasons personal ethics is informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world. According to its teachings, as social beings, the path to Eudaimonia for humans is in accepting the moment as it presents itself, by not allowing oneself to be controlled by the desire for pleasure or fear of pain, by using one's mind to understand the world and to do one's part in nature's plan, and by working together and treating others fairly and justly.
The Stoics are especially known for teaching that "virtue is the only good" for human beings, and that external things—such as health, wealth, and pleasure—are not good or bad in themselves, but have value as "material for virtue to act upon".
