Stoïcisme : comment atteindre la meilleure version de toi-même avec Juliette Dross | Ep29

Le Manuel d'Épictète est un guide concis de la philosophie stoïcienne, compilé par Arrien à partir des enseignements d'Épictète. Il offre des conseils pratiques pour atteindre le bonheur et la tranquillité d'esprit en se concentrant sur ce qui est sous notre contrôle et en acceptant ce qui ne l'est pas. Le Manuel met l'accent sur l'importance de la vertu, de la raison et de la maîtrise de soi. Il encourage à vivre en accord avec la nature et à se détacher des désirs et des émotions perturbatrices. L'ouvrage reste une source d'inspiration pour ceux qui cherchent à vivre une vie significative et sereine.

The 'Pensées' is an unfinished work by Blaise Pascal, intended as a comprehensive defense of the Christian faith. It consists of fragments and notes that Pascal was compiling before his death in 1662. The work is characterized by its psychological and philosophical approach, particularly evident in Pascal's Wager, which argues for the rationality of believing in God. Pascal's writing highlights the contradictions and complexities of human nature, emphasizing both the wretchedness and greatness of humanity. The 'Pensées' also critiques skepticism and underscores the importance of seeking spiritual truth beyond mere reason.

The 'Lettres à Lucilius', also known as 'Moral Epistles' or 'Letters from a Stoic', are a series of philosophical letters written by Seneca the Younger during his retirement. Addressed to Lucilius Junior, the procurator of Sicily, these letters cover various themes of Stoic philosophy such as the contempt of death, the importance of virtue, and how to live a virtuous life. Each letter often begins with an observation from daily life and expands into broader philosophical discussions. The letters are considered some of Seneca's most significant works and provide insights into ancient Roman life and Stoic thought.
