Krátky popis
The teachings of Stoic philosophy began and thrived in the Greek
and Roman world until the 3rd century AD, and has since experienced
multiple revivals right up to the modern day. With wise lessons in
key philosophical subjects, from Acceptance and Change to Virtue
and Cooperation with Nature, there is much that we can learn from
the writings of the Stoics. And in this book, readers can explore
365 expertly chosen extracts—one for each day of the year—from
Stoicism’s most notable names: Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and
Epictetus.Using translations of their original writings and
meditations, 365 Lessons from the Stoics provides access to the
Stoics’ ancient wisdom in bite-sized chunks. Each quote is matched
to a guiding theme, allowing readers to realize the power of the
Stoic’s words in relation to self-improvement, learning and
understanding in their life. Including an Introduction to the
Stoics and Stoicism, readers will gain insight into the lives and
era of the Stoics, before delving into the wise words that continue
to rise in popularity, proving all the more relevant in today’s
increasingly complex world.Each themed, daily entry delivers a
reflection or mini-lecture, enabling the reader to either mentally
prepare for the day ahead or contemplate the day as it draws to a
close. ACCEPT AND COOPERATE WITH NATURE: “…tell yourself: the
people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant,
dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't
tell good from evil.But I have seen the beauty of good, and the
ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a
nature related to my own – not of the same blood and birth, but the
same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of
them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness.Nor can I
feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work
together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth,
upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural.To feel anger
at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”
