Abstract:

Stoic Philosophy is one of the three schools of the Hellenistic period philosophy, together with Epicureanism and Scepticism. Stoics distinguish the philosophy as physics, metaphysics and ethics, and has come to the forefront with their ethical notions. They practiced the knowledge of ethics they inherited in theoretical terms and expressed their opinions in the context of practices and teachings on daily life. Immanuel Kant is a philosopher of the Enlightenment period, and is also worth noting as he greatly influenced his subsequent philosophical thinking. He was interested in almost every field of philosophy and wrote original works. Regarding our study, his moral philosophy is also important. Because, in this study, we will try to show the similarities and differences between the ethics of Stoic philosophers and the moral philosophy of Kant on the basis of duties and freedom. Therefore, it could be argued that Kant was influenced by the Stoic moral philosophy significantly.
