Some Stoic resources, however meager. . .


Over on the sidebar for the Stoic Breviary blog, you will find a list of twenty or so texts that might be of use for some. These aren't Liam Milburn ramblings, but the original writings that inspired them.

Always best to go straight to the source.

Now these are mainly old editions, all in the public domain, and the formatting and editing are hardly ideal, sometimes even atrocious. They are, however, at the very least, a resource to begin with.

Included are works by Cicero, Seneca, Musonius Rufus, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Boethius, Justus Lipsius, and some talks given by Stockdale.

More texts, either directly Stoic or indirectly related to Stoicism, will be added as time permits.

Not all of us have a fancy library where we can look things up, and Stoicism should never be a fancy philosophy. We don't necessarily need to be in with the latest scholarship to think and live like real Stoics.
