"O professor Francisco Miguel Ortiz Delgado propõe uma releitura contemporânea da concepção estóica de liberdade, entendida em seu sentido metafísico como atributo essencial da pessoa virtuosae feliz (eudaimon). O objetivo consiste em argumentar que, de acordo com concepção estóica, a dis-criminação nasce do erro moral, o de atribuir valor a algo distinto da ação virtuosa, e que somente a conduta guiada pela razão e pela virtude constitui autêntica liberdade" Hefner, Marques Kussler and Rechiki Mireilles Abstract: The Stoic conception of “metaphysical” liberty establishes that this is a characteristic of the virtuous person and, therefore, of the person who possesses happiness (eudaimonía). We argue, pushing the ancient Stoic conception of virtue (areté) towards contemporary political-moral conceptions, that, nec essarily, whoever is virtuous and possesses the mentioned metaphysical liberty never discriminates and will always have an anti-discriminatory behavior. We propose, consequently, that those who are discrim inatory and/or promote inequality and/or discrimination are in a metaphysical slavery. We establish that the cause of discrimination, following Stoicism, lies in wrongly considering certain issues as “goods” and in developing passions towards such issues. That is, discrimination is born because we do not recognize that only acting virtuously has value.
