A uniquely comprehensive and accessible collection of the most important writings of the ancient Stoic philosophers, whose advocacy of virtue, self-control, and living in harmony with nature is widely popular today

Stoicism is probably the most popular nonreligious philosophy in the world, with millions of adherents and an important place in contemporary philosophical discourse. It is more than just a set of beliefs or ethical standards; it is a way of life that involves constant practice.

Founded in around 300 BCE in Athens by Zeno, Stoicism flourished throughout the Greco-Roman world. Its most famous adherents include Seneca, Epictetus, Diogenes, and the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, and their writings continue to be widely read and studied thousands of years after they were written.

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Everyman's Library editions include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
