"The origin of the Stoic discussion on the happy life is actually found in the Nicomachean Ethics 1095a 18, where Aristotle observes that happiness (eudaimonia) is the end of life for all human beings. The question of what constitutes happiness, however, is a matter of some contention between Aristotle and the Stoa. In Aristotle's opinion, happiness is "an activity of the soul in accordance with perfect virtue."

" School of philosophy organized at Athens in the third century B.C.E. by Zeno of Citium and Chrysippus. The stoics provided a unified account of the world that comprised formal logic, materialistic physics, and naturalistic ethics.

 Later Roman stoics, including Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, emphasized more exclusively the development of recommendations for living in harmony with a natural world over which one has no direct control. "
