24 Stoic Spiritual Exercises: From Epictetus & Marcus Aurelius

Massimo Pigliucci

4.1/5 ( ratings)

Stoicism is a practical philosophy of life, and while I enjoy writing about its history and theory, it is the practice that has so far had a significant impact in my life. I assume it is the same for most readers too. That’s why in this booklet I collect a number of passages from the ancient Stoics where they explicitly advise certain practices or exercises. . The first list is distilled from Epictetus’ Enchiridion , while the second list is derived from Marcus’ Meditations .
