Book excerpt: ¿Qué nos enseñan los estoicos sobre cómo vivir? Un libro elegante y profundamente reconfortante que muestra por qué el estoicismo es la filosofía de nuestro tiempo. En los últimos tiempos se habla mucho de esta corriente, pero ¿cómo pensaban realmente sus miembros? John Sellars destila y entrelaza las ideas clave de los tres grandes estoicos romanos (Séneca, Epicteto y Marco Aurelio), ofreciendo también instantáneas de sus fascinantes vidas. Las obras de estos tres grandes tratan en esencia sobre cómo vivir: entender nuestro lugar en el mundo, afrontar las adversidades, hacer un mejor uso del tiempo, controlar nuestras emociones y orientarnos en nuestras relaciones con los demás. Sus ideas pueden, en definitiva, guiarnos en nuestra búsqueda de una existencia más placentera. La crítica ha dicho: «Accesible y absorbente. Sellars es un escritor claramente comprometido con la misión de volver la filosofía clásica relevante hoy.» Roger Cox, The Scotsman «Un logro admirable. En una prosa elegante y concisa, nos insta a convertirnos en personas mejores y más felices centrándonos en la toma racional de decisiones.» tim whitmarsh, The Guardian «Un estudio breve pero muy autorizado de la filosofía estoica dirigido a cualquier lector. Presenta el estoicismo de una manera accesible, pero se basa en muchos años de trabajo académico.» Donald Robertson, Medium «Una obra con muchas ventajas frente a otras del mismo género. Cubrir tanto terreno sin limitarse a lo superficial requiere una verdadera habilidad como escritor y como profesor.» Nigel Warburton, Five Books «No suelo leer filosofía, pero después de terminar este libro estoy convencida de que el viejo Séneca tenía razón.» Liz Jones, Mail on Sunday

Book excerpt: 'Excellent. . . Sellars gives a lucid, easy-to-follow account of what Stoicism as a way of life amounts to, and how you might start to put it into practice' Nigel Warburton How can Stoicism inspire us to lead more enjoyable lives? In the past few years, Stoicism has been making a comeback. But what exactly did the Stoics believe? In Lessons in Stoicism, philosopher John Sellars weaves together the key ideas of the three great Roman Stoics -- Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius -- with snapshots of their fascinating lives, to show us how their ideas can help us today. In vivid prose, Sellars shows how the works of these three Stoics have inspired readers ever since, speaking as they do to some of the perennial issues that face anyone trying to navigate their way through life. Their works, fundamentally, are about how to live -- how to understand one's place in the world, how to cope when things don't go well, how to manage one's emotions and how to behave towards others. Consoling and inspiring, Lessons in Stoicism is a deeply thoughtful guide to the philosophy of a good life.

Download or read book Stoicism written by John Sellars and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first introduction to Stoic philosophy for 30 years. Aimed at readers new to Stoicism and to ancient philosophy, it outlines the central philosophical ideas of Stoicism and introduces the reader to the different ancient authors and sources that they will encounter when exploring Stoicism. The range of sources that are drawn upon in the reconstruction of Stoic philosophy can be bewildering for the beginner. Sellars guides the reader through the surviving works of the late Stoic authors, Seneca and Epictetus, and the fragments relating to the early Stoics found in authors such as Plutarch and Stobaeus. The opening chapter offers an introduction to the ancient Stoics, their works, and other ancient authors who report material about ancient Stoic philosophy. The second chapter considers how the Stoics themselves conceived philosophy and how they structured their own philosophical system. Chapters 3-5 offer accounts of Stoic philosophical doctrines arranged according to the Stoic division of philosophical discourse into three parts: logic, physics, and ethics. The final chapter considers the later impact of Stoicism on Western philosophy. At the end of the volume there is a detailed guide to further reading.

Download or read book Manual de estoicismo written by Epicteto and published by EDAF. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A través de las cincuenta y tres piezas que componen el Manual, Epicteto –crecido como esclavo en la turbulenta Roma de Nerón– nos ofrece los principios de la filosofía estoica, corriente de la que, junto al emperador Marco Aurelio y el filósofo Séneca, es su máximo representante. Por medio de unas reflexiones afiladas y certeras y un lenguaje claro y sin concesiones, Epicteto nos propone la ética estoica como un punto de partida en la búsqueda de la tranquilidad de ánimo y de la felicidad. La unión entre la reflexión moral y su vertiente práctica que se produce en el Manual y en las dos piezas de sus diatribas incluidas en este volumen (Cómo actuar ante los tiranos y Contra los conflictivos y salvajes) contribuye a que el estoicismo sea percibido como una corriente filosófica capaz de influir en las acciones del día a día.

Download or read book The Fourfold Remedy written by John Sellars and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we really need in order to live a happy life? An Epicurean antidote to anxiety Over two thousand years ago the Greek philosopher Epicurus offered a seemingly simple answer: all we really want is pleasure. Today we tend to associate the word 'Epicurean' with the enjoyment of fine food and wine and decadent self-indulgence. But, as philosopher John Sellars shows, these things are a world away from the vision of a pleasant life developed by Epicurus and his followers who were more concerned with mental pleasures and avoiding pain. Their goal, in short, was a life of tranquillity. In this uplifting and elegant book, Sellars walks us through the history of Epicureanism from a private garden on the edge of ancient Athens to the streets of Rome, showing us how it can help us think anew about joy, friendship, nature and being alive in the world.

Download or read book Selected Letters written by Seneca and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-03-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'You ask what is the proper measure of wealth? The best measure is to have what is necessary, and next best, to have enough. Keep well!' The letters written by the Stoic philosopher and tragedian Seneca to his friend Lucilius are in effect moral essays, whose purpose is to reinforce Lucilius' struggle to achieve wisdom and serenity, uninfluenced by worldly emotions. Seneca advises his friend on how to do without what is superfluous, whether on the subject of happiness, riches, reputation, or the emotions. The letters include literary critical discussions, moral exhortation, exemplary heroes and episodes from Roman history, and a lurid picture of contemporary luxury. We learn about Seneca's household and estates and about life in the time of Nero; the topic of death is never far away. This readable new translation is the largest selection of Seneca's letters currently available. Accompanied by an invaluable introduction and notes, it opens a window on to Seneca's world. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Excellent. . . . a lucid, easy-to-follow account of what Stoicism as a way of life amounts to and how you might start to put it into practice.” —Nigel Warburton, author of A Little History of Philosophy To counter the daily anxieties, stress, and emotional swings caused by the barrage of stimuli that plagues modern life, many people have been finding unexpected solace in a philosophy from a very different and distant time: Stoicism. Today, more than 100,000 people are members of online communities for modern Stoics, and there are conferences, meet-ups, and workshops for those aspiring to walk the Stoic path. But what is Stoicism, and what makes it resonate so powerfully today? As John Sellars shows in The Pocket Stoic, the popular image of the isolated and unfeeling Stoic hardly does justice to the rich vein of thought that we find in the work of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, the three great Roman Stoics. Their works are recognized classics, and for good reason—they speak to some of the perennial issues that face anyone trying to navigate their way through life. These writings, fundamentally, are about how to live—how to understand your place in the world, how to cope when things don’t go well, how to manage your emotions, how to behave toward others, and finally, how to live a good life. To be a Stoic is to recognize that much of the suffering in your life is due to the way you think about things, and that you have the ability to train your mind to look at the world in a new way—to recognize what you can and can’t control and turn adversity into opportunity. The Pocket Stoic is a concise introduction to the lives and thought of the key Stoics—and a perfect guide to incorporating the practice of Stoicism into your everyday life.

Download or read book The Hermeneutics of the Subject written by Michel Foucault and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2005-04-02 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hermeneutics of the Subject is the third volume in the collection of Michel Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France, one of the world's most prestigious institutions. Faculty at the Collège give public lectures, in which they present works-in-progress on any subject of their choosing. Foucault's wide-ranging lectures influenced his groundbreaking works like The History of Sexuality and Discipline and Punish. In the lectures comprising this volume, Foucault focuses on how the "self" and the "care of the self" were convinced during the period of antiquity, beginning with Socrates. The problems of the ethical formation of the self, Foucault argues, form the background for our own questions about subjectivity and remain at the center of contemporary moral thought. This series of lectures throws new light on Foucault's final works and shows the full depth of his engagement with ancient thought. Lucid and provocative, The Hermeneutics of the Subject reveals Foucault at the height of his powers.

Download or read book Cecilia Vald s or El Angel Hill written by Cirilo Villaverde and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.
