Followers of an "enduring" philosophy (6)

I believe the answer is:

stoics

(Other definitions for stoics that I've seen before include "They bear discomforts without complaining, like old Romans and Greeks" , "They bear discomforts without complaint, like ancient philosophers" , "They endure pain unflinchingly" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
