Description: What is a good life? And how can we create it in a world of uncertainty? The Practical Philosophy of Classical Thinkers encourages you to find your own answers to these fundamental questions with the help of thirteen of the most prominent Greco-Roman philosophers. Drawing on the ideas of the Cynics, Stoics, Epicureans, and other philosophical schools, you will learn to: - Seek pleasure with Aristippus. - Find balance with Aristotle. - Focus only on what is within your control with Epictetus. - Be rebellious like Hipparchus. - Embrace uncertainty with Carneades. - Question everything like Socrates. - Work for a just society with Plato. - And much more. Times have changed, but the yearning for eudaimonia (a life that truly fulfills us) remains. That's why these ancient sages can be our guides today, whether we are practicing Stoics or new seekers.
