What are the problems of Stoicism?
gpt
Classical Stoicism held that Nature was ultimately good, and that all actions in accordance with nature would bring about the good. Marcus Aurelius asserts in Book 2 of Meditations that “nothing natural is evil.”

Stoicism then runs into the same trap as some religions that put faith in an omnipotent and benevolent deity - how do you explain horrible events? Alasdair MacIntyre summarizes the Nature problem in Stoicism quite succinctly: “Nature is conceived of as an actively benevolent agent; nature is a legislator for our good” (After Virtue 217).
