Summary/Abstract: The philosophy of Stoicism continues to attract followers, mainly due to its practical applicability. Regarding Stoic ethics, it could be said that there is a consensus among scholars and followers of Stoic philosophy that ethical tenets have not, in essence, lost their relevance since the third cen tury BCE, when Stoicism emerged. However, the same could not be said of Stoic cosmology. What to do today, in the twenty-first century, with the Stoic cosmology that is seemingly outdated? For example, it contains elements like Zeus and the infinite void that surrounds the world. The title of the article Can Stoic Ethics be Detached from Zeus? questions whether Stoic cosmology can be separated from ethics, which is the central axis of Stoicism today.
