Professor Sherman’s book, Stoic Wisdom: Ancient Lessons for Modern Resilience, has recently appeared on Oxford UP.
“Engaging sympathetically yet critically with the ancient texts, she ultimately fashions her own Stoicism for today: based not on detachment but on resilience and adaptability, not on emotional hardness but on empathetic attunement to the needs of others, not on a retreat from politics but on a commitment to change what we cannot accept.” –Martha C. Nussbaum, University of Chicago
Congratulations to Professor Sherman!
