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

A beautiful boxed set of the major works by the three great Stoic philosophers, ed by Coralie Bickford-Smith ‘Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence.‘ This collection presents the greatest works by the three major Stoic philosophers, in beautiful hardback editions ed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Meditations, 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 Letters to a Stoic 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 Discourses, 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.
