Stoic Concept

Stoic Agape

Universal love and benevolence toward all rational beings.

Stoic agape is the expansive love that extends beyond personal relationships to encompass all human beings as fellow rational creatures. This love is based on recognizing our shared nature and common participation in reason and virtue. It motivates us to work for the common good and treat all people with respect and kindness. Unlike romantic or familial love, agape is universal and doesn't depend on personal preference or relationship. It's the emotion that connects us to the larger human community.
