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. What is the connection between them? This Very Short Introduction provides an introductory account of Stoic philosophy, and tells the story of how ancient Stoicism survived and evolved into the movement we see today. Exploring the roots of the school in the philosophy of fourth century BCE Greece, Brad Inwood examines its basic history and doctrines and its relationship to the thought of Plato, Aristotle and his successors, and the Epicureans. Sketching the history of the school's reception in the western tradition, he argues that, despite the differences between ancient and contemporary Stoics, there is a common core of philosophical insight that unites the modern version not just to Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius but also to the school's original founders, Zeno, Cleanthes, and Chrysippus. Inwood concludes by considering the place of Stoicism in modern life.

Thumbs up
I gifted these to my picky husband and they're a hit. Very large bars of soap, they outlast supermarket brands. They smell great and have subtle exfoliation. He likes the way they lather and leave his skin feeling. His favorite is the mint scent. I'm coming back to stock up on that one, and to leave this review.

Worth the price
A box of this soap lasts my son over a year with daily use. He cuts bars in half to put in soap saver bag/scrubber to make them last longer. Great scents, but not overpowering! He says quality is just as good if not better than National Name Brand natural bar soaps. Very affordable considering longevity of each bar. Great for gifts! Comes packaged in sturdy nice looking box with each bar having a nice label around each so you could give as 1 gift or add soaps into a gift basket or container as a variety gift

Packaged Poorly But Good Product
Scent: Cedar, Size: 7.73 Ounce (Pack of 3), Scent: Cedar, Size: 7.73 Ounce (Pack of 3)
While I like the exfoliating soap bar for its smell, later ability, and exfoliating pieces in the soap I can't give it a full 5 stars due to when I received the package not only was there white powder all over the box but each bar looked like it had been shaved down/dented. I feel perhaps they should work on how to package these or put each bar in a plastic sleeve to unsure there isn't a mess once you open the package. The price for 3 soap bars was pretty good compared to others where is cost this much for two or even one bar.
