Stockdale on Stoicism 16

I'll drop the prison chronology right there, and concentrate on bringing to light as many more interesting wrinkles of Epictetus and his Stoicism as time will allow.

I would like to say straight off that I have read through and studied the Discourses, at least ten times, to say nothing of my many excursions into the Enchiridion, and I have never found a single inconsistency in Epictetus's code of tenets. It is a put-together package, free of contradictions. 

The old boy may or may not appeal to you, but if he turns you off, don't blame it on incoherence; Epictetus has no problem with logic.

—from James B. Stockdale, The Stoic Warrior's Triad
