Stoicism For Life - The Philosophy of Musonius Rufus (Stoic Quotes)

[@samuelhoffmann162]

I love Musonius Rufus. Obviously he was a great teacher. Look at the result: Epictetus. It's a shame he's neglected. He explains things very well and is unique. He adds that extra piece of wisdom to Stoicism we need

[@OrionPhilosophy]

I love him too, I think he deserves more credit than he gets

“If you accomplish something good with hard word, the labour passes quickly, but the good endures.” Musonius Rufus

[@Diana-gt1rv]

I very much like the Stoic philosophy of Rufus, as actually I myself am living according to his principles and I'm very happy with my way of living. "Rufus advocated a commitment to live for virtue, not pleasure, since virtue saves us from the mistakes that ruin life. He also called for austere personal habits, including the simplest vegetarian diet, and minimal, inexpensive garments and footwear, in order to achieve a good, sturdy life in accord with the principles of Stoicism. He believed that philosophy must be studied not to cultivate brilliance in arguments or an excessive cleverness, but to develop good character, a sound mind, and a tough, healthy body." (source: Internet Encyclopedia of Philospohy). I particularly like the quote in this video "Virtue is brotherly love.... and concern for the welfare of our neighbour." My firm belief is that by living a humble live we automatically contribute to the welfare of all, as we protect nature. If everybody lived according to Stoicism, we had no climate catastrophe.

I agree, I really like Rufus' take on Stoicism

[@tommurgatroyd7664]

Great to hear quotes from one of the less spoken about stoics!

[@OrionPhilosophy]

I love Rufus' philosophy. He was Epictetus' teacher and there's a lot of cross over between the two Stoics

[@funnyquotesjokes2611]

With everything happening around the world at present, a stoical approach can give us a framework to keep going.

Our human flourishing is always distinguished and there is an indivisible association between our interest in ourselves and virtue. The virtuous person continuously uses practical wisdom in the pursuit of the good life. We desire and need to gain a knowledge of virtue in order to become virtuous, moral and content.

Aristotle wasn't a stoic, but what do you think about his approach to living a good life?

[@OrionPhilosophy]

I think in general most philosophers have benefit in their teachings, I also think that the best philosophy for life comes from learning from as many schools of thought as possible and picking out the lessons that work for you as an individual. This will be different for everyone 👍

[@Pwyllugh]

@@OrionPhilosophy Love your approach to this! There is no one solution for everyone, every individual needs to find what resonates and makes the most "sense" in their life for themselves. And if that's a wild array of different schools of thoughts then so be it! :)

What do you think of Musashi?

[@OrionPhilosophy]

I like his philosophy in general. There are some great concepts that can be taken from him and applied to modern day life, however some of his philosophy I feel is too militant and strict to be widely practical for most people.
