This is a list of emotions.
Stoic Passions
The Stoics named four primary passions. In On Passions, Andronicus reported the Stoic definitions of these passions (trans. Long & Sedley, pg. 411, modified):
- Distress
- Distress is an irrational contraction, or a fresh opinion that something bad is present, at which people think it right to be depressed.
- Fear
- Fear is an irrational aversion, or avoidance of an expected danger.
- Lust
- Lust is an irrational desire, or pursuit of an expected good.
- Delight
- Delight is an irrational swelling, or a fresh opinion that something good is present, at which people think it right to be elated.
Numerous subdivisions of the same class are brought under the head of the separate passions. The definitions are those of the translation of Cicero's Tusculan Disputations by J. E. King.
