			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stoicism is experiencing a resurgence. I&#8217;m not sure why, but it is. This <a href="http://liturgical.wordpress.com/margaret-graver-on-stoicism-emotion/" target="_blank">interview</a> with Margaret Graver present a look at some misconceptions of stoicism. Here&#8217;s a quote from A.A. Long (Classics, UC Berkeley) about Graver&#8217;s book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0226305589?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=ameribeguicom-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0226305589">Stoicism and Emotion</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ameribeguicom-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0226305589" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />:</p>
<blockquote><p>A.A. Long wrote, “Margaret Graver’s book [‘Stoicism and Emotion’] expertly demolishes the widespread belief that ancient Stoicism was a philosophy that advocated repression of every feeling we call an emotion. With admirable clarity she gives an in-depth analysis of how the Stoics assessed emotional health and pathology, and of why, while taking such emotions as anger and fear to be always irrational and culpable, they held that human perfection requires joy and love.” How would you introduce the actual Stoic view of emotions, versus the “widespread belief” about them, to undergraduate students?</p></blockquote>
