The Stoic Magazine Library

This is an extract from Ron Pies’ new book “The Anatomy of Gratitude”. In this extract, Ron Pies summarizes the key principles of Stoicism from his perspective. (The extract is a slighly edited version of the original, with subheads added.)

We have already quoted some of the most prominent Stoic philosophers, or those whose writing reflected the Stoic point of view. Now we’ll dig down a bit deeper into the writings of Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Cicero, with a nod to the medieval philosopher and Roman senator, Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius (480-524 CE), commonly known as Boethius. I’ll provide some additional commentary on some of the key passages below. [https://www.orionphilosophy.com/stoic-blog/stoicquotes- on-discipline]
