Stoic Philosophy: Notes and Reflections
Stoicism: Bibliography, Hypertext Notebook, Resources, Research, Themes, Reflections
Research by Mike Garofalo. 250KB, November, 2015
In the last month, I have been steadily reading Hellenistic philosophers (300 BCE - 200 CE). I've read all of Marcus Arelius and Epictetus. I'm now reading Seneca and Cicero. I've read many commentaries and scholarly works about the Stoics and Greco-Roman Hellenistic Ethical viewpoints.
I've focused recently on using Stoic practices, maxims, exercises, and skills development for improving my daily life.

Great advice here.
ReplyDeleteAiming for a state of mind like atraxia needs to be grounded in our daily ways of living and working. We do find that "aiming" and trying accomplish that "aim" [objective, goal, future circumstance, target], does often result in positive benefits [rewards, pleasures, pride, success, vitality, excellence] in the future. Sometimes, not!
