Stoic Passions

Primary Passions The Stoics named four primary passions. In On Passions, Andronicus reported the Stoic definitions of these passions (trans. Long & Sedley, pg. 411, modified):Distress Distress is an irrational contraction, or a fresh opinion that something bad is present, at which people think it right to be depressed. Fear Fear is an irrational aversion, or avoidance of an expected danger. Lust Lust is an irrational desire, or pursuit of an expected good. Delight Delight is an irrational swelling, or a fresh opinion that something good is present, at which people think it right to be elated.
