Here comes another free e-booklet that collects a number of essays I wrote, covering Larry Becker’s effort to update Stoicism for the 21st century, as articulated in his A New Stoicism. This commentary, which was put together with Larry’s help before he died, is meant as an introduction and guide to, but definitely not a substitute for, his book. You can download a free PDF version (several other free booklets on Stoicism, philosophy of science and general philosophy can be found here). Updating Stoicism contains the following:
Introduction
I — The map of the territory
II — The way things stand, part 1
III — The way things stand, part 2
IV — Normative Stoic logic
V — Following the facts, part 1
VI — Following the facts, part 2
VII — Virtue, part 1
VIII — Virtue, part 2
IX — Happiness
X — Virtue ethics, political philosophy, and how to live well
