The Stoics: The Essence of the Philosophy
Is there a connection between the philosophy of Stoicism and the fortitude of the ancient Romans? To what extent could a Stoic philosopher overcome fear? As the leader of the Roman superstate, could Emperor Marcus Aurelius have been an ideological follower of the former slave Epictetus? How did Stoicism transcend social boundaries and reach so many minds? Is the Stoic worldview relevant to the modern city dweller, in a time when peace is once again rife and many people are once again abandoned to their fate? How did Greco-Roman Stoicism offer a countermeasure to an aggressive environment? And to what extent do Stoic principles actually work?
