The Stoics: A Guide for the Perplexed by M Andrew Holowchak
Providing ancient and modern-day examples to illustrate Stoic principles, this book guides readers through the themes and ideas of Stoic thought. It presents Stoicism as an ethically viable way of life through rejecting their notion of ethical perfectionism in favour of a type of ethical progressivism consistent with other Stoic principles.
‘Holowchak has produced a work of the Golden MeanOn the one hand, he has given us a clear and lively introduction to Stoicism, with emphasis on ethics. Yet, at the same time, he offers pointers for studying the Stoics in more depth.' Allan Bäck, Professor of Philosophy, Kutztown University, USA
