Major Works of the Stoics Boxed Set: Meditations Letters from a Stoic Discourses and Selected Writings

<p>''Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence.''<br><br>This collection presents the greatest works by the three major Stoic philosophers, in beautiful hardback editions designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. <i>Meditations</i>, written by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to provide personal consolation, is one of the most influential works of philosophy of all time. Seneca''s <i>Letters to a Stoic </i>upholds the ideals of Stoicism - the wisdom of the self-possessed person immune to life''s setbacks - while valuing friendship and courage. And in his <i>Discourses</i>, Epictetus argues that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not. Together, these works offer a complete education in Stoicism.</p>
