Definition: "Anti-splitting" is a Greek term meaning "splitting apart." It describes a phenomenon where two or more things are separated from one another by a barrier, as if they were separated on some physical or philosophical level. The word originates from Greek philosophy, specifically Stoic and Epicurean thought. Stoicism (Greek for "stoic thinking") often involves an understanding of the mind's limits, which can lead to philosophical questions about the existence of certain things outside our experience. Epicureanism, a branch of Stoicism, suggests that life is lived without external control or purpose. In both Stoicism and Epicureanism, it is often seen as an essential part of human existence to maintain inner balance and tranquility, away from the constant agitation of external affairs. This balance may be achieved through various means, including meditation, contemplation, and self-control. The concept of "antisplitting" is central to Stoicism in its emphasis on the importance of individual freedom and personal responsibility over societal constraints or collective wills. It implies a sense of human agency that allows individuals to create their own meaning and purpose within themselves, without external interference.
