Book excerpt: Professor Davidson has given us in this book an interesting general summary of the Stoic philosophy. Students who are familiar with the literature of the subject will not find much that is new to them in this summary; and perhaps the interests even of the general reader would have been better consulted if the author had gone more into detail on many of the interesting points that have recently been discussed. In particular, we should have been glad to see a fuller statement of the parts played by the various members of the Stoic school in the formulation of the creed. From the point of view of the exact history of philosophy, we should have preferred to see less use made of the late Stoics and more use made of the fragments of Zeno, Cleanthes, and Chrysippus; for there can be no doubt that these were the formative thinkers of the school, and that the members of the Middle and Later Stoa did little but repeat the older arguments, enforcing them by apt illustration and clever rhetoric, but often, also, losing consistency by borrowing ideas from other schools. Probably one might go further and say that all the main ideas of Stoicism are to be found already in Zeno -- that the task of Cleanthes was simply that of systematizing, and the task of Chrysippus, that of finding new arguments for old conclusions. The general relation of the main thinkers of the school is correctly stated by Prof. Davidson, but in a book of this size room might surely have been found for a more detailed treatment of the question. The object of the book, however, is different. Its object is to present Stoicism as a single closed system of ideas, important by reason of its high moral tone and its influence on several successive generations. The author has achieved this task in a distinctly interesting way. He has chosen characteristic and forcible passages from Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, and has given us a fairly complete picture of the Stoic beliefs, especially on the ethical and theological sides. The book also contains much shrewd and sensible criticism, of which pp. 99-104 on the Stoic cosmology are perhaps the most favorable specimen.--The Classical Review, Vol. 21

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stoic Creed These chapters are a contribution towards the exposition and just appreciation of Stoicism-which, whatever its defects, was a system of lofty principles, illustrated in the lives of many noble men. The subject has perennial fascination; and there are not wanting signs that it appeals with special attractiveness to cultured minds at the present day. It has both speculative and practical value ; its analysis of human nature and its theory of knowledge, no less than its ethical teaching, giving insight into the problems of the universe and the right mode of guiding life. As an important stage in the march of philosophical thought, and as a luminous chapter in the history of natural theology, it solicits our attention, and will repay our study. Ample quotations are designedly made from the Stoic writers themselves and from ancient Greek and Latin expositions. Responsibility for the translation of most of the passages must be accepted by myself. One exception, however, has to be made.

Download or read book The Daily Stoic written by Ryan Holiday and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a daily devotional of Stoic meditations—an instant Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller. Why have history's greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today's top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.

Download or read book Sinner s Creed written by Scott Stapp and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sinner’s Creed is the uncensored memoir of Scott Stapp, Grammy Award–winning leader of the multiplatinum rock band CREED. During CREED’s decade of dominance and in the years following the band’s breakup, Scott struggled with drugs and alcohol, which led not only to a divorce, but also to a much-publicized suicide attempt in 2006. Now clean, sober, and in the midst of a highly successful solo career, Scott has finally come full circle—a turnaround he credits to his renewed faith in God. In Sinner's Creed, Scott shares his story for the first time—from his fundamentalist upbringing, the rise and fall of CREED, and his ongoing battle with addiction, the rediscovery of his faith, and the launch of his solo career. The result is a gripping memoir that is proof positive that God is always present in our lives, despite the colossal mess we sometimes make of them.

Download or read book Stoic Warriors written by Nancy Sherman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stoic Warriors explores the relationship between soldiers and Stoic philosophy, exploring what Stoicism actually is, the role it plays in the character of the military (both ancient and modern), and its powerful value as a philosophy of life. Marshalling anecdotes from military history--ranging from ancient Greek wars to World War II, Vietnam, and Iraq--Sherman illuminates the military mind and uses it as a window on the virtues of the Stoic philosophy. Indeed this is a perceptive investigation of what makes Stoicism so compelling not only as a guiding principle for the military, but as a philosophy for anyone facing the hardships of life.
