| Publisher Description: This is the complete works of Musonius Rufus (25-95CE), the man who taught Epictetus. While he was very well-known and respected during his time, he is less widely known now. He was a social activist, a proto-feminist, a vegetarian, and a minimalist. No topic is too small or too big for him. Here are some of the topics covered in this book* Women and men are equal.* Why hardships are of little importance?* Why everyone should study philosophy?* Where you live or are forced to live is of no importance.* Don't take things personally and be personally insulted.* Live "according to nature"* Live a virtuous family life.* Live a simple life.*Children should obey their parents, but not indiscriminately.*If you keep practicing virtue, you don't need anything special in your old age. |
