 +==== Stoicism ==== 
 +Marcus Aurelius used to say that "A man is worth as much as the matters he is concerned with are worth." A philosophical approach to matters where one must be able to restrain emotions, act rationally, and maintain a healthy distance made Marcus Aurelius one of the most highly regarded Roman emperors.

 +==== About morality ====

 + 
 +==== Existential philosophy ==== 
 +Søren Kierkegaard builds his existential philosophy on his interest in man, and how he relates to God. The questions he posed were rooted in his personal fears and anxieties, which he considered inseparable from human life.
