Online - The Epitome of Stoic Ethics, Finale
Details
Some time in the 5th century CE, John of Stobi (Stobaeus) created an anthology of resources to help educate his son. Among those resources were summaries of some philosophies' ethical doctrines. And among those summaries was one from the 1st century BCE Stoic philosopher Arius Didymus, which is now sometimes referred to as "The Epitome of Stoic Ethics".
Our last meetup covered the first half of this important work. At this meetup, we will continue 2021's theme of "Stoic B-Sides" by reading the second half of the Epitome of Stoic Ethics.
To prepare, please purchase The Stoics Reader by Inwood and Gerson (https://www.hackettpublishing.com/the-stoics-reader) and read the second half of The Epitome of Stoic Ethics, which is Sections 9-12 of Text 102 ("The Account Preserved by Stobaeus") on pp. 137-151 of The Stoics Reader.
If you would like to study with us but buying The Stoics Reader presents a financial burden, please message Greg on Meetup to receive a copy.
