The happy life: a guide to stoicism for the modern man. 53 brief lessons for the living
9.99 €
One of the most prominent schools of ancient philosophy is rightly considered to be Stoicism - a philosophical system that developed in the III-II centuries BC in Greece, and later adopted by Rome. The book is devoted to the views of Epictetus, a Roman philosopher-slave, one of its brightest representatives. The author, an American philosopher, biologist, and publicist, draws on the few but celebrated works of this thinker and attempts to reconstruct his worldview using modern language, modern stylistics, and modern narratives - making the once prominent Stoic doctrine accessible and appealing to the twenty-first-century reader. The construction he presents, called "Stoicism 2.0", also has a practical purpose: it can teach the man of today the art of not just living, but living happily. The author believes that Stoic wisdom, which has been tested for two millennia, has an exceptional value in the postmodern world.
