Explain why the Romans rejected Epicureanism for Stoicism as Rome’s popular philosophy
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Epicureanism, which focused on living a pleasurably contemplative life, became associated with self-indulgence and debauchery.
2. Stoicism addressed many problems first-century CE Romans faced (rapid expansion, overpopulation, poverty).
3. Stoicism advocated making the best of a situation.
4. Stoicism focused on rational detachment and commonsense practicality.
5. Stoicism offered a sense of control to people dealing with factors outside of their control (e.g., living conditions).
