Stoicism has not seen revivals.
 Both Stoicism and Christianity assert an inner freedom in the face of the external world, a belief in human kinship with Nature or God, a sense of the innate depravityor "persistent evil"of humankind, and the futility and temporary nature of worldly possessions and attachments
== History ==The name Stoicism derives from the Stoa Poikile (Ancient Greek:   ), or "painted porch", a colonnade decorated with mythic and historical battle scenes on the north side of the Agora in Athens where Zeno of Citium and his followers gathered to discuss their ideas, near the end of the 4th century BCE
