Abstract

This article aims to discuss the philosophy of life of Stoicism , focusing on the concept of the dichotomy of control and control bias. Stoicism teaches individuals to understand the limits of control over their lives and encourages a focus on things that are within control, such as actions, thoughts, and attitudes, rather than getting caught up in things that are beyond control. This concept provides a futuristic space to face problems in a wiser and more mature way. Stoicism emphasizes the importance of surviving in the midst of impermanent life changes, and making every challenge an opportunity to learn to become a better person. Then the criticism of Stoicism , especially related to the illusion of control bias. This bias refers to the human tendency to believe that everything can be controlled or that they have absolute knowledge of all phenomena. This illusion can create a sense of overconfidence and errors in assessing situations, which is contrary to the Stoic principle of awareness of the limitations of control. Keywords : control bias, dichotomy of control, stoicism
