Th.W. Adorno on Stoicism - Dictionary of Arguments
Adorno XIII 226 Stoa/Stoics/Adorno: the Stoics assumed, opposed to the real predominance of the pleasure principle, a state in which there should be no such thing as affects, such as pleasure and pain, any more. >Stoicism. As soon as hedonism enters into reflection, and thought sinks into what is actually pleasure and pain, instead of leaving itself directly to the pleasure principle, it points beyond itself in its consistency. Thus he has succeeded in establishing ethical ideals which are not so far away from those of the average serenity of the wise, as they are in many respects present... XIII 227 ... in a so non-materialist thinker as Spinoza. >B. Spinoza, >Hedonism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
