Brilliantly written, Steven. Thanks for capturing such an important teaching of Stoicism. Pierre Hadot coined the phrase the “View from Above.” His works are a great scholastic tour of Stoic philosophy if you are so inclined. Thank you for being part of the great Cosmopoli. We have a responsibility to bolster it. Cheers.
Hello Stan - thank you. Yes- Hadot's writings inspired this mini series of essays on the "fourfold root" of Stoicism. I synthesized his ideas about the three disciplines and Stoic spiritual exercises with my own ideas about reconstituting the basis for a Stoic way of life. Thanks again for reading, I appreciate your kind words and thoughts.
