WESTERN PHILOSOPHY: ANCIENT, TO C 500. The ongoing popularity of Seneca's Letters from a Stoic and Marcus Aurelius' Meditations testifies to a continuing interest in Stoic philosophy. Epicureanism offers another side of a similar coin, seeking answers to such questions as what makes for a good life and how to determine our place in the universe. This classic explores both still-living and vibrant schools of thought in a scholarly but totally accessible style.
