In class this afternoon, I began to realize these thoughts and wrote them down frantically into my notebook, because something was bothering me that I couldn’t quite grasp fully. We were discussing Stoicism, but in particular, Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Discussing the use of nature in it, my professor started to speak of Aurelius' ideas of nature. Our class was taking issue with nature and naturalism’s current through Stoicism, which really ended up being more a current through Greek and Roman philosophy anyway.
