Epictetus and Laypeople: A Stoic Stance toward Non-Stoics
Lanham: Lexington Books (2020)
Abstract
This book is the first study to explore an ancient philosopher’s attitude towards the vast majority of society, who had no knowledge or affiliation with philosophy—namely laypeople. It reveals that Epictetus held a sophisticated viewpoint regarding laypeople and envisaged means for lay reform outside of philosophical study.Author's Profile
