Musonius Rufus (c. AD 30-100) was one of the four great Roman Stoic
philosophers, the other three being Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and
Musonius' pupil Epictetus. During his life, Musonius' Stoicism was
put to the test, most notably during an exile to Gyaros, a barren
island in the Aegean Sea. Because Stoicism was, for Musonius, not
merely a philosophy but a prescription for daily living, he has
been called "the Roman Socrates." MUSONIUS RUFUS: LECTURES AND
SAYINGS will therefore be welcomed by those who seek insight into
the practice of Stoicism. In this volume, readers will find Cynthia
King's translation of Musonius' lectures, as recorded by his pupil
Lucius; the sayings attributed to Musonius by ancient writers; an
exchange of letters between Musonius and Apollonius of Tyana; and a
letter from Musonius to Pankratides. This volume also includes a
preface by William B. Irvine, author of A GUIDE TO THE GOOD LIFE:
THE ANCIENT ART OF STOIC JOY.
