E-book: Toward a New Stoicism

A ten-part commentary on Larry Becker's masterpiece

Dear Reader,

Here is the second installment of my new series of free e-books based on essays that have appeared either here at Figs in Winter or at one of my previous blogs.

This new collection comprises ten essays attempting to explain and make more accessible Larry Becker’s masterpiece, A New Stoicism, one of the most important books in the modern Stoicism canon, in my opinion.

I had the fortune to meet Larry before he died and interview him in preparation of my How to Be a Stoic. He was a very kind man and a brilliant mind. Later on he agreed to supervise the original publication of these essays, so that I could be confident that I was not misrepresenting his ideas.

Enjoy, and remember, Philosophia longa, vita brevis!
