 +//**DISCLAIMER:** Do note that many of the selections here, particularly those from ancient authors, are often not fully self-explanatory and do require an understanding of Stoic theory to glean their authors' intended meanings. If you are just starting out with Stoic philosophy, you will likely find it more useful to begin by reading the primary source works themselves as well as the works of later authors and scholars discussing and engaging the ancient ideas. This can provide helpful theoretical and historical context, without which the content of some selections may seem strange or aversive. Use this resource with caution, then, as it is intended to be a tool for those already familiar with Stoicism to continually engage the material and in new ways. That being said, if you are a beginner, feel free to explore the selections, taking them with some grains of salt.//
