Öz

Stoa felsefesi yaygınlıkla bir ahlak felsefesi olarak kabul edilir. Ancak bu, sadece ve doğrudan etik sonuçlara varan bir öğreti değildir; doğanın rehberliğinde erdemli bir yaşam ülküsünü savunan bu öğretinin arka planında fiziksel ve teolojik argümanlar bulunur. Bu argümanların en önemlisi evrenin tanrısal bir kökene dayandığı ve tanrısal bir iradeyle yönetildiğidir. Tanrı ve tanrısallıkla ilgili Stoacı argümanların en eskileri kurucu Kitionlu Zenon’un fragmanlarında bulunur. Bu çalışmanın amacı Zenon’un tanrı ve tanrısallık anlayışını yansıtan SVF 1.152-162 fragmanlarının genel bir analizini yapmaktır.
