MUSONIUS RUFUS:THE COMPLETEWORKS (IN ONE VOLUME)

STOIC LESSONS

This is the complete works of Musonius Rufus, the man who taught Epictetus. While Musonius was very wellknown and respected during his time, he is less widely known now. He was a social activist, a proto-feminist, a vegetarian,and a minimalist. No topic is too small or too big for him. Here are someof the topics Musonius discusses in this book:

Why women and men are equal, why hardships are of little importance, why everyone should study philosophy, why where you live or are forced to live is of no importance, how not to take things personally, how to live “according to nature”, how to live a virtuous family life, and how to lead a simple life. Musonius shows why, if you keep practicing virtue, you don’t need anything special in your old age.
