斯多亚主义

略论斯多亚主义产生的文化背景和思想渊源

On Cultural Backgrounds and Origin of Thoughts for the Emergence of Stoicism

斯多亚主义是希腊化时期最重要、最有影响的哲学思潮。

Stoicism was a philosophical movement which was the most important and influential in Hellenistic time .

一方面，他需要一个绝对意义上的德性论，需要为德性提供一个可接受的形而上学基础；但是另一方面，他在自然神学和斯多亚主义理神论之间摇摆，对两者都持有怀疑态度。

On one hand , he needed a definite morality theory which provide a acceptable metaphysical basis for morality . On the other hand , He swung between Theodicy and Stoicism , suspecting both .

由于以上两种作用的同时并存以及斯多亚主义与加尔文主义的同时存在，导致斯密神学思想的特点：乐观与悲观的对立、理性与天性的矛盾。

Because of the coexistence not only of these two vital roles but also the Stoicism and the Calvinism , the theological thought has such characteristics as the contradiction of optimism and pessimism , rationality and nature .
