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.

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. CONCEPT Stoicism: The Ethics of Dispassion 4 Which branch of philosophy examines the ultimate nature of reality?  Natural philosophy  Epistemology  Cosmology  Metaphysics RATIONALE Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that is concerned with discovering and describing the ultimate nature of reality.
