Stoicism and Its Critics Review As befits a good Stoic, Farnsworths expository prose exhibits both clarity and an unflappable calm...Throughout The Practicing Stoic, Farnsworth beautifully integrates his own observations with scores of quotations from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne and others.
