Stoic Question #1
What does it mean for something to be good?
Not an easy question. The stoics usually answered this question along the lines of “If something is in accord with nature, it is good.” Of course that in itself requires further explanation. My answer is, if a thing is in accord with its intended purpose and doing no harm to anyone or anything else, it is in conformity with what would be considered good.
