What do Stoics think of Ecclesiastes?
It's not a Stoic book - it's theistic, for one thing. And yet, it seems to me to have some of the same ideas as Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. Not perfectly parallel, but the same big idea, that all this stuff we get wrapped up in is empty.
Don’t forget that ancient stoics most definitely had a concept of gods and the divine, even if modern stoics do not.
I don’t feel like stoic concepts and theism have to operate independently. I’d imagine that stoicism lines up rather well a deistic view, though I am far from an expert on either.
Fascinating comparison. Nothing now - but will have to mull it.
