Descrizione The Art of Living: The Stoics on the Nature and Function of Philosophy

It is a commonplace to say that in antiquity philosophy was conceived as a way of life or an art of living, but precisely what such claims amount to has remained unclear. John Sellars explores this via a detailed account of ancient Stoic ideas about the nature and function of philosophy. He considers the Socratic background to Stoic thinking about philosophy and Sceptical objections raised by Sextus Empiricus, and offers readings of late Stoic texts by Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. Sellars argues that the conception of philosophy as an art of living has persisted since antiquity and remains a living alternative to modern attempts to assimilate philosophy to the natural sciences. This is the first paperback edition, with a new Preface by the author.
