  1. One affected with apathy; one who is destitute of or does not exhibit feeling; specifically, an adherent of the moral philosophy of the Stoics. See stoicism. [Rare.] Methinks it becomes not a dull Apathist to object that we should be disquieted with perpetual feares if any parcel of our happiness should not be lock'd up within our own Breasts. Bp.
