Abstract
En el presente artículo exploramos la carencia de valor que tiene la muerte, el cese de la vida de una persona, para la filosofía estoica, que considera a aquellas como uno de los factores indiferentes o adiáphora ("no preferibles") para la felicidad humana. La idea del "temor hacia la muerte", como un sentimiento incorrecto, repercutió en la política cotidiana de la Roma imperial; según concluimos, esta circunstancia demuestra el carácter pragmático y terapéutico de la Stoa, escuela que siempre buscó eliminar tal temor.STOA is a biannual publication edited by the Institute of Philosophy of the Universidad Veracruzana, Tuxpan, No. 29, Frac.
