The Meaning Crisis of the Hellenistic Period

The meaning crisis of the hellenistic period was driven primarily or solely by a fear of mortality. Stoicism is very relevant because stoicism is a direct and explicit ancestor to some of our current forms of psychotherapy. We're putting into practice things that originated with the stoics, not as much from the epicureans. I recommend tillock's book, the courage to be as a discussion about that from a more modern context.
