2.0 out of 5 stars Stoicism: What does it have to offer?, May 25, 2003

By 

Dave Morris "David" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ethics of the Stoic Epictetus (Revisioning Philosophy) (Hardcover)

I used this book for a paper I wrote on Stoicism.

Stoicism is a complex philosophical school. However, its ideas have come to be validated by modern psychology.

Everyone in America has to buck up, and not dwell on their problems. They need to realize that they do not need love, sex, money or friendship. The only thing you need is virtue. We need to stop whining about fairness; and try our best to be good people. These are some things Stoicism has to offer.
