Brad Inwood is een vooraanstaand specialist in de antieke filosofie, met bijzondere nadruk op het stoïcisme en de presocratici. Zijn werk duikt in de complexiteit van ethiek, moraalpsychologie en antiek filosofisch denken, en onderzoekt fundamentele vragen over menselijk handelen en cognitie. Inwoods analytische benadering belicht sleutelteksten en ideeën die de westerse filosofische erfenis hebben gevormd, en biedt lezers een boeiende verkenning van de vorming van oude ethische theorieën.
Seneca details the good and bad behavior of those who receive benefit from others. He argues that you can give some one help and do them more harm than good by how you give and what you give. The receiver of the benefit also has a duty to pass on the benefit in their own way and to ameliorate the harmful benefit to the best of their ability. He also explains the levels and rewards of benefits.
"Stoicism is two things: a long past philosophical school of ancient Greece and Rome, and an enduring philosophical movement that still inspires people in the twenty-first century to re-think and re-organize their lives in order to achieve personal satisfaction. Brad Inwood presents the long history that connects these."-- Provided by publisher
