Notes
A word of real philosophical weight, sitting close to — but not identical with — the Stoic ideal the Academy teaches. A seigmae person is indifferent to the good opinion of others, which the tradition holds to be a virtue when it proceeds from settled judgement and a vice when it proceeds from contempt. Distinguishing the two is a standard examination question in Clearhold.
