Neo-Stoic Writings

0/5 ( ratings)

Guillaume du Vair was a statesman, an orator, and a clergyman during the wars of religion in France. His writings offer a modern form of Stoicism, remade for a turbulent age. The virtue of constancy: i.e., rational, courageous, and patient steadfastness, was offered as an anchor to the individual caught in religious and political storms.

Du Vair is now a very obscure figure, but this collection will help bring him back. His teachings, forged in the worst of times, are of perennial application.

This book is a collection of six Neo-Stoic writings by du Vair. Where possible, English translations from his own century have been included:

"A Buckler Against Adversity: Or A Treatise of Constancy."

"The Holy Love of Heavenly Wisdom."

"An Exhortation to Civil Life."

"The Moral Philosophy of the Stoics."

"The Handbook of Epictetus."

"Epictetus' Answers to Hadrian's Questions."

Language: English

Pages: 229

Format: Kindle Edition
