They happen when one ignores virtue, which is the same as conformation to the natural logos. Therefore, to fight passions it is necessary to properly use reason. In this sense, for Stoic thinkers, the philosophical practice shows itself capable of contributing to psychological well-being, since it aids in eliminating erroneous opinions that provoke passions. In this same way thinks Epictetus, a stoic philosopher who deepened, in his own way, the relationship between the art of philosophy and the art of living. For Epictetus, passions relate more specifically to human desires, unlike the approach of his predecessors that related them generically to impulses. / De acordo com a filosofia estoica, as paix?es s?o padecimentos da alma que ocorrem por irracionalidades. Elas acontecem quando se ignora a virtude, que ? o mesmo que a conforma??o ao logos natural. Por isso, para combater as paix?es ? necess?rio usar devidamente a raz?o. Nesse sentido, para os pensadores estoicos, a pr?tica filos?fica se mostra capaz de contribuir terapeuticamente para o bem-estar psicol?gico, pois auxilia na elimina??o das opini?es err?neas que provocam as paix?es. Dessa mesma forma tamb?m pensa Epicteto, fil?sofo estoico que aprofundou, a sua maneira, a rela??o entre a arte de filosofar e a arte de viver. Para Epicteto, as paix?es se relacionam mais especificamente com os desejos humanos, diferentemente da abordagem de seus antecessores que as relacionavam genericamente aos impulsos.
