WORK IN PROGRESS

Currently researching Hellenistic Philosophy, with emphasis on Stoic moral philosophy.

Preparing a new edition of The Golden Sayings of Epictetus based on the early 20th century translation by Hastings Crossley, adding substantial commentary and extra supporting material.

Making notes on a commentary to the Desiderata by Max Ehrmann, which has in my opinion distinct Stoic themes running through it.
