A New Stoicism
Revised Edition
Lawrence C. Becker
A New Stoicism reimagines stoic ethics for modern times, building on cosmology and developmental psychology instead of outdated assumptions. Lawrence Becker argues that virtue is one thing, the proper end of all activity, and sufficient for happiness. This is a book for those seeking a sophisticated form of ethical naturalism, rather than a caricature of the emotionally-detached stoic. Becker challenges the reader to reconsider the theoretical foundations of stoic moral training.
