Book Description: These are the most important concepts in Stoic philosophy.

Knowledge of what is owed to other people.

This virtue is often associated with understanding what obligations come with our social roles.

For example, what you owe a member of your neighbour, or what standards you must hold yourself to when conducting a business deal.

It also concerns identifying injustice, and knowing what actions you should stand up against.

Greek: Dikaiosyne δικαιοσύνη.
