About the book and trailer
Doing what seems right does not always bring comfort, approval or advantage. When it asks us to give them up, the distance between what we say about virtue and what we do becomes visible. Stoic Ethics examines that distance through repeated choices, rather than an image of moral perfection: how we answer others, handle anger and fulfil our roles.
Wisdom, justice, temperance and courage meet questions of wealth, reputation, desire, loss and uncertainty. Drawing on Epictetus and the Stoic tradition, Mehmet Gökhan İnce seeks consistency between judgement, intention and action. Caring for others is distinguished from demanding control over every outcome.
