From the publisher

Each of us faces setbacks and mishaps--and far more often than we'd like. The ancient Roman stoics Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius also faced them, and they had it no easier than we do. It is their reasoning about how to overcome the hardships of life that has become one of the most popular philosophical products of the 21st century. What is the incomparable benefit to be gleaned from stoic texts? Where did Stoic thought come from, and how is it related to the scientific worldview of Antiquity? Why is it impossible for a true stoic to live in isolation from society? How to reconcile inner freedom with the inevitability of cause-and-effect laws? These questions are answered succinctly and elegantly by the English philosopher John Sellars. Translated with DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
