>what is logos
Stoics are literally monists, they believe in the Platonic World-Soul and connotes it with Zeus, they believe in Fate (but without the freedom) and their own version of the 'Good.'
Stoics are to Aristotelians what they are to Platonists. Stoics collapse Intellect into Soul, being short-sighted they couldn't see past the Monad of the Universe, just as Aristotle was short-sighted and couldn't see past Nous.
But it is the same World Soul in all three traditions; since it is good and one, in their contemplation they beheld this great God, thinking he was the first principle and were content. Which excepted from the stoic temperament (aka the masses). Same problem with most Indian schools. They all need glasses for their minds' eye.

O Ra. I am you and you are I. If you shine in me, I will shine in you. For I am that Eye of yours which is on the horns of Hathor, which turns back the years from me; I spend the night and am conceived and born every day.

If values are relative, subjective, then that applies to negative evaluation too, it applies to denial, and truth itself becomes variable.
The nature of emotion is irrelevant, chemicals causing them or affections of the soul, doesn't matter if the only basis for meaning is the activity of feel itself.

>But you dream, /lit/, your simplicity long ended when you took nihilism and determinism for granted, and you thickened your head with ideas of egoism ubermensch and power!
Because you’ve fallen in love with all the things in life that destroy men!
>DO YOU NOT SEE!?!?!?
>And YOU, as well as I KNOW, that as the years decline, and the memories stale, and all your great theories fade... you will remember when you were told....—Spinoza was right
