1
When Crito tries to convince Socrates that he must not betray his
own life, how does Socrates respond?
He says that life would not be worth living if the principle of justice
was violated.
He says that all life has value, but society determines the fate of
man.
He says that what is right is often misunderstood by mortals and
must be left to the gods.
He says that he is not afraid of dying and knows that his followers
will restore his good name.
RATIONALE
In the Crito, Socrates' friend (Crito) tried to convince him to escape and avoid
execution. Socrates refused to do so, and explained why escape would be
wrong. Socrates asserted that not all life has intrinsic value; only the good
life does. Since he believed that he would violate the principle of justice
(established by the Social Contract) by avoiding death, Socrates refused to
avoid it.

The Crito: The Duties of the Social Contract

A Stoic avoids looking for good in external things and recognizes
that value __________.
has little to do with ethics
is determined by intrinsic personality traits
can be found in every living entity
lies in our judgment of the world
RATIONALE
, Stoicism is a philosophical approach that encourages people to focus only on
what they can control (e.g., their desires, emotions, reactions, and
judgments of the world). They should not be concerned by things that are
beyond their control. Stoicism directs people to focus on their internal values
rather than external rewards.
CONCEPT
Stoicism: The Ethics of Dispassion
3
Choose the example that best demonstrates a central tenet of
Stoicism.
Bob is such a rabid Cubs fan that it isn’t fun to watch a baseball
game with him.
Stephanie is a good nurse because she is skillful and always
remains composed.
Carlene is devastated when her outdoor party is interrupted by a
thunderstorm.
Mr. Donovan insists that he begin each morning with pastry and a
cup of sweet tea.
RATIONALE
Stoicism is a philosophy that encourages people to focus only on what they
can control (e.g., their desires, emotions, and reactions). Because Stoicism
focuses on eliminating desires, and emphasizes control of emotions, it leads
people to perform their assigned jobs (or roles) skillfully and dispassionately.
