Not Totally About Stoicism

 

The subtitle of A Life Worth Living: Meditations on God, Death and Stoicism by William Ferraiolo is not very clear, it turns out.  I thought this work would be exclusively about how to practice Stoic philosophy here and now; and certainly, some of it is.  But by and large, the author moves to other topics, like a philosophical exploration of No Country for Old Men, and a valiant effort to revive some kind of concept of creation by design.  And interesting book, but not quite what I thought it would be.
