Synopsis: I recently started reading a book called The Anatomy of Peace. This morning’s reading triggered an insight into another critique I have of Epictetus’s Stoicism, beyond what I’ve expressed in the past. In my opinion, Marcus Aurelius’s Stoicism doesn’t partake of this flaw in the same way, and Judaism’s ethics actively opposes it. This is a new and developing insight, but I wanted to capture it in its nascent stage.
