Keywords: ancient stoicism, Humanitas, Paideia, forgiveness

Abstract

Recent historical studies on the idea of “forgiveness” have provided valuable data on this term of academic philosophy. Its mundane use expresses mentality and practices socially regulated very specific. The results of this study support the conclusión that this notion existed within the Greco-Roman society. So, the “forgiveness to enemy” is not a total innovation of the Judeo-Christian culture, but rather a consequence of the previous romanization. This article attempts to show how the Stoic school is the main exponent of this cultural diffusion from its inception.
