内容摘要 斯多葛学派能启发我们过更快乐的生活吗?在过去的几年里,斯多葛主义卷土重来。斯多葛学派到底相信什么?在《斯多葛哲学的教训》(Lessons In Stoicism)一书中,哲学家约翰·塞拉斯(John Sellars)将三位伟大的罗马斯多葛学派——塞内加(Seneca)、爱比克泰德(Epictetus)和马可·奥勒留(Marcus Aurelius)——的关键思想编织在一起,展示了他们迷人的生活图景,向我们展示了他们的思想在今天如何帮助我们。塞拉斯用生动的散文展示了这三位斯多葛学派的作品如何从那时起启发了读者,他们谈到了每个人在人生道路上都要面对的一些永恒问题。 从根本上说,他们的作品是关于如何生活的——如何理解自己在世界上的位置,当事情进展不顺时如何应对,如何管理自己的情绪以及如何对待他人。斯多葛派的课程是对美好生活哲学观的深刻思考。 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.
