Description
A New Stoicism Revised Edition by Lawrence C. Becker explores what stoic ethics would look like in modern times if it had survived as a systematic approach to ethical theory. Becker argues that a secular version of the stoic ethical project, based on contemporary cosmology and developmental psychology, provides the basis for a sophisticated form of ethical naturalism. He defends key stoic doctrines, including the idea that virtue is one thing, not many, and that it alone is good. This book offers a fresh perspective on stoicism, moving beyond its traditional associations with emotional detachment to reconsider its theoretical foundations.
