https://fp.waik.stronazen.pl:443//4705-19-1-spring-2014-05.html Epictetus’ discussion of the death of spouse and child in Encheiridion 3 raises interesting problems on the meaning of “person” in his Stoic philosophy. The author uses Epictetus’ discussion as a window into his notion of person, and weighs the strengths and weaknesses of that notion. The Stoic view of person represents an advance over pre-Stoic views. It offers us a better way to look at significant others throughout life, and helps us better to deal with their loss. Yet it falls short of being a fully satisfactory notion of person, because it does not address the fact that I am constituted as person only in relationship to others who are themselves persons.   Issues 19/1 - Spring 2014 Articles fr Tue, 05 Jan 2021 15:21:06 +0100 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 15:21:06 +0100 https://fp.waik.stronazen.pl:443//4705-19-1-spring-2014-05.html 0
