Epictetus and Laypeople

A Stoic Stance toward Non-Stoics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first study to explore an ancient philosopher's attitude towards the vast majority of society, who had no knowledge or affiliation with philosophy-namely laypeople. It reveals that Epictetus held a sophisticated viewpoint regarding laypeople and envisaged means for lay reform outside of philosophical study.
