The Trichotomy Fallacy 

The ‘dichotomy of control’ is fundamental to Stoicism. Recently some have argued that we need a third category. Do we? In this article, I explain what is wrong with the idea of a Stoic trichotomy.

Modern Stoicism and Clearing its Cobwebs 

This is a series of ongoing correspondence between British Cognitive Behavioral Therapist Tim Lebon and Chuck Chakrapani. The topics currently under discussion are: 

• Is the universe benevolent in its overall plan? 
• Is the universe a living thing? 
• Is there a rational and orderly plan in the universe and the causes of events? 
• Does the universe embody wisdom? 

Tim LeBon and Chuck Chakrapani analyze each of the above assumptions to assess whether they are “gems” or simply cobwebs that need to be cleared.
