The Stoic doctrine that all things are interconnected — that the cosmos is a single living whole in which every part affects every other. The philosophical foundation of Stoic cosmopolitanism and care for the common good.

The rational principle that governs the cosmos in Stoic philosophy. Not a deity in any conventional sense, but not merely a metaphor either — understanding Logos clarifies what the Stoics meant by "living according to nature."
