Each of us faces setbacks and misfortunes - and much more often than we would like. The ancient Roman Stoics Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius also faced them, and they had no easier time than we do. It is their reasoning on how to overcome life's hardships, became almost the most popular philosophical product of the XXI century. What is the incomparable benefit that can be derived from the Stoic texts? Where did Stoic thought come from and how does it relate to the scientific world picture of Antiquity? Why cannot a true Stoic live in isolation from society? How can inner freedom be reconciled with the inevitability of causal laws? A small and elegant book by the English philosopher John Sellars answers these questions.
