IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A stone bust of a philosopher is shown. However, in place of the philosopher's face, there is a red question mark - and the yellow name-tag in front of the bust only identifies the bust's subject as "PHILOSOPHER". Behind the bust burns the red flame that represents the logos. This image is for articles on this site (virtualstoa.org) that pertain to the _people_ who were our ancient philosophers.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Two circles one within another. The inner circle features a geocompass and one of those arrows that splits into three directions - all that symbolizing one's own choices and decision-making. In the outer circle, faded out underneath the circle's gray fill-color, are a picture of a house, a dollar-sign, a first-place medal, and a crown - all symbols of external, worldly things that many people covet.

This image is for articles on this site (virtualstoa.org) that prominently feature discussion on the Stoic concept of Locus of Control.

May 11, 2017 sophia_my_blog

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: In the foreground, the rainbow-infinity symbol to represent neurodiversity. In the background, the flame representing the Logos - that is, the all-pervasive spirit of reason and logic. This image is for articles in this blog that discuss Stoicism as it relates to topics of neurodiversity.

Stoicism and AD(H)D – from a Stoic who Actually Has AD(H)D

May 4, 2017 sophia_my_blog
