I am a Stoic.

take it to /lit/

Sorry this is also a humanity like that "discipline" history

>>5520

Yes, but that is /lit/ material you posted. Sorry, but you lost.

1. I am a Stoic (albeit not a very good one).

2. Epictetus' Enchiridion is better, in my opinion.

Marcus Aurelius was a Zeitgeist-y pseudo-wiseman whose writings could just as well appear on some stupid "Inspirational" Facebook page

Nope, it's philosophy.

Objectively false, but thanks for sharing those hot opinions anyway.

>>5716

Yeah I agree.

Very few Romans were great thinkers, they were too comfortable. Now Cicero, that is an example of a truly principled man who faces life and duty head-on.

How do you feel about Epictetus?

>>5716
You obviously have no understanding of the subject if you think his writings were meant to be "inspirational"

because stoicism in a comfortable environment is like tearing down a ships sails in perfect weather

stoicism is reserved for stormy weather and living situations only

I didnt say they were, im saying the essence is the same

Epictetus is based.
Auerelius is too esoteric, you don't really get actual reasoning from him.
To be fair, his writings weren't meant to be read by other people. Epictetus was a lecturer
