PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
regardless of what one thinks of Stoicism, one can still applaud a book that seeks to breathe new life into the idea of philosophy as a reflection on and practical guide to the way we live. Emrys Westacott, The Philosopher's Magazine All in all Irvine does a fine job in offering his 'resolutely practcal' brand of Stoicism to a popular audience. His citation of the original sources is effective and stimulating of interest. His tone is just right one for the popular audience he wishes to reach. Walter M. Roberts III, Bryn Mawr Classical Review Dr. Irvine has used very simple language in his book. He gives a notion of modern stoicism and urges modern readers to practice stoicism.
