A philosophy that saw self-possession as the key to an existence lived 'in accordance with nature', Stoicism called for the restraint of animal instincts and the severing of emotional ties. These beliefs were formulated by the Athenian followers of Zeno in the fourth century BC, but it was in Seneca (c. 4 BC - AD 65) that the Stoics found their most eloquent advocate. Stoicism, as expressed in the Letters, helped ease pagan Rome's transition to Christianity, for it upholds upright ethical ideals and extols virtuous living, as well as expressing disgust for the harsh treatment of slaves and the inhumane slaughters witnessed in the Roman arenas. Seneca's major contribution to a seemingly unsympathetic creed was to transform it into a powerfully moving and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.

YannieY10-17好久没念哲学的书了，大学的时候度过Epictetus的stoics书，觉得这个学派的人都是性冷淡，有自虐倾向。过了好几年hedonism的生活之后才发现，啊，原来stoicism才是通往幸福感的源泉。

Inglourious B12-10Truth and nature& a rule of life. 古罗马的孔子，读起来令人平静，哲学穿越两千年的月光，思考的是同一个宇宙/时间/对待人生的方法，不由令人感动。从不同的起点和过程前进而达到同一信念，不正是真理本身应有之意吗。No man is good by accident. Virtue has to be learnt. /A love philtre compounded without drug or herb or witch’s spell. It is this: if you wish to be loved, love.

陈灼10-18历时半年看完，每次看得很短，一两封信而已。两千年前的斯多葛智慧不仅适用于当时的当下，也完全适用于我们今天的当下。公元一世纪和公元二十一世纪的人类遇到的“现代性”问题，有很多相同和相通之处。哲学的意义之一即在于从时代的局限之中看到突破局限的问题。
