stoic philosopher
Emotionally detached sage
A stoic philosopher is someone who practices or advocates Stoicism, the ancient Greek school of thought teaching that virtue and wisdom come through accepting what we cannot control while mastering our responses to it.
The phrase often appears loosely to describe anyone who faces hardship with calm endurance: He approached his diagnosis like a stoic philosopher.
