書籍簡介

斯多葛學派能啟發我們過更快樂的生活嗎?在過去的幾年裏，斯多葛主義捲土重來。斯多葛學派到底相信什麼?在《斯多葛哲學的教訓》(Lessons In Stoicism)一書中，哲學家約翰·塞拉斯(John Sellars)將三位偉大的羅馬斯多葛學派——塞內加(Seneca)、愛比克泰德(Epictetus)和馬可·奧勒留(Marcus Aurelius)——的關鍵思想編織在一起，展示了他們迷人的生活圖景，向我們展示了他們的思想在今天如何幫助我們。塞拉斯用生動的散文展示了這三位斯多葛學派的作品如何從那時起啟發了讀者，他們談到了每個人在人生道路上都要面對的一些永恆問題。

從根本上説，他們的作品是關於如何生活的——如何理解自己在世界上的位置，當事情進展不順時如何應對，如何管理自己的情緒以及如何對待他人。斯多葛派的課程是對美好生活哲學觀的深刻思考。

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.
