Description
This handsome book and card set contains a short introduction to the philosophy of Stoicism, a 52-card deck of inspirational Stoic aphorisms, and an elegant display stand for the cards, all contained in a sleek lidded box.
The philosophy of Stoicism emphasises self-control, the pursuit of virtue, and the importance of living in accordance with nature. Amidst the frantic chaos of modern life, the ancient philosophy of Stoicism can provide a hugely valuable toolset and a way to stay calm when stress threatens to overwhelm.
In this informative guide, Michael Moore introduces you to the core concepts and ideas of Stoicism, from its origins among ancient Greek and Roman thinkers like Zeno, Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, through to its use in the modern day. He explains what a virtuous life really means and shows how you can apply these enduring ideas to your own experience.
Each card provides a quote from a renowned Stoic philosopher along with a brief analysis of what this means for life in the modern world. This collection provides a perfect entry point into this ancient philosophy and will be valuable for anyone seeking a spot of calm in their lives.
ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Inspiration Kits contain full-colour guides to a mode of wisdom, accompanied by beautiful quote cards and a display stand to rest them upon, all enclosed in a giftable lidded box.
