Stoicism is two things: a long past philosophical school of ancient Greece and Rome, and an enduring philosophical movement that still inspires people in the twenty-first century to re-think and re-organize their lives in order to achieve personal satisfaction. What is the connection between them? This Very Short Introduction provides an introductory account of Stoic philosophy, and tells the story of how ancient Stoicism survived and evolved into the movement we see today. Exploring the roots of the school in the philosophy of fourth century BCE Greece, Brad Inwood examines its basic history and doctrines and its relationship to the thought of Plato, Aristotle and his successors, and the Epicureans. Sketching the history of the school's reception in the western tradition, he argues that, despite the differences between ancient and contemporary Stoics, there is a common core of philosophical insight that unites the modern version not just to Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius but also to the school's original founders, Zeno, Cleanthes, and Chrysippus. Inwood concludes by considering the place of Stoicism in modern life.

Decent quality for the price and lots of space for your “stuff”.
Color: Single layer-Brown
This is a nice vanity tray for the price. There are a few minor rough edges but nothing that takes away from the overall appearance and functionality. This helps keep my dresser organized and holds a lot of items. I use this for my car keys, wallet, air pods, pocket knife, glasses, and a few bottles of cologne…and still have room to spare. Easy to recommend as a gift for a guy that has everything

Very nice
Color: Single layer-Brown
Dad needed something to help him remember the items he needs to take with him. So we purchased this organizer for him. He's been using it and makes sure it's empty before leaving the house. It has helped him tremendously. The only improvement I would recommend is make the box slot bigger for today's adult glasses.
