Biography and key teachings of Zeno

Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoicism, was born around 334 BC in the city of Citium on the island of Cyprus. His journey into philosophy began following a shipwreck that left him stranded in Athens, where he encountered Socratic teachings that would spark his interest in ethics and human behavior. Influenced by the Cynics, particularly Diogenes, and the Socratic method, Zeno began developing his philosophical framework. He emphasized the importance of virtue and understanding the nature of reality, believing that reason is the guiding force in leading a good life. Drawing from his diverse philosophical influences, Zeno crafted a cohesive system that addressed not just moral philosophy, but also the cultivation of personal character and the pursuit of wisdom.
