Musonius Rufus: Lectures and Sayings

Musonius Rufus: Lectures and Sayings
- Used Book in Good Condition
Musonius Rufus (c. AD 30â€“100) was one of the four great Roman Stoic philosophers, the other three being Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Musoniusâ€™ pupil Epictetus. During his life, Musoniusâ€™ Stoicism was put to the test, most notably during an exile to Gyaros, a barren island in the Aegean Sea. Because Stoicism was, for Musonius, not merely a philosophy but a prescription for daily living, he has been called â€œthe Roman Socrates.â€ MUSONIUS RUFUS: LECTURES AND SAYINGS will therefore be welcomed by those who seek insight into the practice of Stoicism. In this volume, readers will find Cynthia Kingâ€™s translation of Musoniusâ€™ lectures, as recorded by his pupil Lucius; the sayings attributed to Musonius by ancient writers; an exchange of letters between Musonius and Apollonius of Tyana; and a letter from Musonius to Pankratides. This volume also includes a preface by William B. Irvine, author of A GUIDE TO THE GOOD LIFE: THE ANCIENT ART OF STOIC JOY.
