A report on Truth, Reason and Stoicism

Reason is the capacity of consciously applying logic by drawing conclusions from new or existing information, with the aim of seeking the truth.

The Stoics propounded that knowledge can be attained through the use of reason.

Truth can be distinguished from fallacy—even if, in practice, only an approximation can be made.

Logic is concerned with the patterns in reason that can help tell if a proposition is true or not.

The Stoics conceived truth as accessible from impressions via cognitive grasping.

Stoic philosophy, by contrast, claimed most emotions were merely false judgements.
