El estoico practicante: Un manual de uso filosófico

Rate this book
Vivimos convencidos de que, en todas las situaciones de la vida, reaccionamos directamente a los acontecimientos. Sin embargo, para los filósofos estoicos esto es pura ilusió en realidad reaccionamos a nuestros juicios y opiniones, a lo que pensamos de las cosas, no a las cosas en sí. El estoico practicante ha de estar decidido a tomar conciencia de esos juicios, a descubrir su irracionalidad, y a elegir con más cuidado lo que piensa.

En este libro, el catedrático Ward Farnsworth reúne y reproduce lo que los diversos filósofos estoicos dijeron sobre cada tema importante, y acompaña cada aforismo de un comentario accesible y cargado de lucidez.

En capítulos como «La emoción», «La adversidad», «La virtud» y «Lo que piensan los demás», se recoge la sabiduría más valiosa de épocas pasadas sobre lo que significa el buen vivir, y se pone a nuestra disposición para que la apliquemos en nuestro tiempo.
