FAO: Philosophicaly inclined

Any good commentaries on stoicism? Esp modern ones

I've read Meditations few times, and taken a few courses on stoicism, but most of the text is pretty bland. So looking for somethiing more readable

Your best bet as a starter for almost all philosophy stuff is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:

James Stockdale, whose writing "Courage Under Fire: Testing Epictetus's Doctrines in a Laboratory of Human Behavior" I found immensely valuable.

At the moment, I'm too busy studying four books on jewish history, starting from the maccabean revolt to the third war against the romans for a test on monday, i can't process more words as of now, but when i'm free i'll re-read it.

Where are you from? You and Allied Nations seem to be competing for the title of most cosmopolitan TA ever

Only did it as a hobby, never at an education level. However Camus' "Le Mythe de Sisyphe" is very interesting an relatively easy. Nietzsche's philosophy is a bit more complicated if you want to go into that. I personally also liked the work of Kafka even if it's not always philosophy orientated.

Good luck.

Marcus Aurelius... good stuff. He's a little antequated, we've got shit like the Tao to keep us busy (or unbusy or neither) these days.
