A philosophy that saw self-possession as the key to an existence lived 'in accordance with nature', Stoicism called for the restraint of animal instincts and the severing of emotional ties. These beliefs were formulated by the Athenian followers of Zeno in the fourth century BC, but it was in Seneca (c. 4 BC - AD 65) that the Stoics found their most eloquent advocate. Stoicism, as expressed in the Letters, helped ease pagan Rome's transition to Christianity, for it upholds upright ethical ideals and extols virtuous living, as well as expressing disgust for the harsh treatment of slaves and the inhumane slaughters witnessed in the Roman arenas. Seneca's major contribution to a seemingly unsympathetic creed was to transform it into a powerfully moving and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.
好久没念哲学的书了,大学的时候度过Epictetus的stoics书,觉得这个学派的人都是性冷淡,有自虐倾向。过了好几年hedonism的生活之后才发现,啊,原来stoicism才是通往幸福感的源泉。
评分满篇都是警句,可能不太符合今人的阅读习惯
评分有点可爱的话唠高汤。其实读起来感觉挺年轻的,不像想象的年老而沉重。

评分Truth and nature& a rule of life. 古罗马的孔子,读起来令人平静,哲学穿越两千年的月光,思考的是同一个宇宙/时间/对待人生的方法,不由令人感动。从不同的起点和过程前进而达到同一信念,不正是真理本身应有之意吗。No man is good by accident. Virtue has to be learnt. /A love philtre compounded without drug or herb or witch’s spell. It is this: if you wish to be loved, love.
