May 28, Michael de Percy rated it liked it Shelves: reviewed. It took me a while to get into this book. It was recommended by one of the Stoic websites I have visited. I was a little confused when I first picked up the book. It was published by Lulua self-publishing platform, and for a time this put me off. But this is actually an annotated work of an original Greek work written some time in the early 3rd century CE, and then translated into English by Yonge, Charles Duke inand then re-worked by Keith Seddon in The original author, Diogenes It took me a while to get into this book. Unfortunately, only fragments of the original work, The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophersof which the present work is drawn, from Book 7, have been recovered. Once I had the provenance under control, I appreciated Seddon's work in resurrecting a Stoic classic, and then the knowledge of how much I don't know began to flow in. These Stoic authors wrote on logic and ethics and physics and so on, and were far more sophisticated in their philosophy then simply not budging when somebody punched them in the face. As I am currently reading Aristotle's Rhetoricthere is some congruence with the basic elements of the philosophy that all piece together as I read more of the classics. What surprises me most is that much of my knowledge of the A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven, gleaned as it was from the formal education system, is a facsimile of a facsimile copied and recopied and passed on through the ages until what I have been given barely resembles a mere trace of the original. There is too much in this for one reading, and it really is a study piece rather than a work for easy leisure, pointing to further studies to be done more than a standalone piece of literature as one would expect of a literature review. That scholars were so sophisticated 2, years ago makes me wonder how humanity went so backward and has A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven today at what is barely an echo of the wisdom of the past. It haunts me in that if it happened before, it can and will happen again, so our present circumstances could easily dumb things down, if it is not already too late. And all this from reading a book published on Lulu. It is enough to change my opinion of the self-publishing platform! View 1 comment. Aug 08, Joe rated it really liked it. I gave the book 4 stars. It may well be excellent, however, I just didn't fully understand it and it for all it's pages it did not give the kind of background on the beliefs of stoicism that I was hoping for. I think the book was not what I wanted and I didn't fully appreciate what I was buying. But I don't want to mark it down on that basis.

Diogenes Laertius: Life of Zenon (Zeno of Citum) Zeno was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, which he taught in Athens from about BC. Based on the moral ideas of the CynicsStoicism laid great emphasis on goodness and peace of mind gained from living a life of Virtue in accordance with Nature. It proved A Summary of Stoic Philosophy: Zeno of Citrium in Diogenes Laertius Book Seven popular, and flourished as one of the major schools of philosophy from the Hellenistic period through to the Roman era. Zeno was born c. Diogenes reports that Zeno's interest in philosophy began when "he consulted the oracle to know what he should do to attain the best life, and that the god's response was that he should take on the complexion of the dead. Whereupon, perceiving what this meant, he studied ancient authors. On a voyage from Phoenicia to Peiraeus he survived a shipwreck, after which he went to Athens and visited a bookseller. There he encountered Xenophon 's Memorabilia. He was so pleased with the book's portrayal of Socrates that he asked the bookseller where men like Socrates were to be found.
