In addition to being a moral philosophy, Stoicism, which gives a special importance to physics that examines the structure of the cosmos, to morality that shows how people will act within this structure, and to logic, because it protects physics and morality, is a thought that accepts life in accordance with nature as the purpose of man. In Stoa philosophy, which has a deterministic, physicalist, and teleological character, the major goal of nature research is to enable people to learn about moral life while teaching only natural causes, that is, the first causes of events. Since the human-specific mind is based on the nature-specific mind, what is essential in nature research is to enable the human to discover his/her own mind while introducing the mind of nature. In this sense, nature research is part of the initial phase of philosophical education in terms of addressing the discourses and works of philosophers about nature. The reflection of the knowledge gained through physics into practice contributes to the moral transformation in people. In this study, how the Stoics ground the moral life based on physics teachings will be evaluated. In this context, it will be emphasized that understanding the cosmic or divine order that prevails in nature and human life is a necessity for life in harmony with nature.
