Stoicism and Aristotle on Emotions:  Aristotle thinks that emotion is essential to being virtuous. The courageous person, for example, experiences fear in the right way towards the right things.  Only the reckless person has no fear.  Does the stoic agree with this?  Epictetus says that our emotions are up to us, but that we should not be upset by things that are not up to us.  Does this mean that the good stoic has no fear?  Drawing from passages in Epictetus handbook and Aristotles Nicomachean Ethics, explain whether you think the Stoic and Aristotle disagree about the role of emotions in our life.
