Review: Essential Works of Stoicism
Essential Works of Stoicism by Moses Hadas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The meat of this slim volume is the writings of Epictetus and Marcus Auerlieus "To Himself". The rest is immaterial and doesn't matter, anyway. But the humble, searching tone of the other two works and the settled peace with acceptance and a reflective, circumspect attitude speaks with a voice that reaches across the eons to deliver wisdom.
This is the best, compact overview of classic Stocism I have ever seen.
