Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy explores ancient thought as if it were sophisticated personal equipment, uniquely fitted for those who navigate the world's most dangerous physical and moral terrain. Thoroughly researched and exhaustive in scope, it confronts widespread misconceptions about both philosophers and the military, illustrating the deep interconnection between moral, mental, and physical character. Moreover, it extends the boundaries of contemporary military ethics, linking enduring philosophical principles with the evolving complexities of modern warfare. It equips serving and future military professionals for an arena of moral ambiguity, delivering intellectual tools to face all challenges with integrity, honor, and an unshakable warrior ethos. While Stoicism has seen an explosion in popular interest, and is widely embraced in military circles, no serious philosophical work has yet explored its full relevance to the military profession. This book fills that gap. Endorsed by senior military officials and academic philosophers, Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy provides compelling and original contributions to both military ethics and the modern Stoic resurgence. AUTHOR: Commander William C. Spears is an active military professional with a distinguished career in the United States Navy. He is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, the Naval Postgraduate School, the Air Command and Staff College, and the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy. His service includes operations in nuclear-powered submarines across a variety of classes and mission profiles, including duty as the Executive Officer of a Trident missile submarine. His hobbies include weightlifting, winemaking, and antagonizing his family with philosophical inquiry. 7 b/w images A timely and original exploration of Stoicism as a moral framework for military service, bridging ancient philosophy with the realities of modern warfare.

Paperback. Etat : New. If Stoicism seriously attracts your attention, you need a North Star. In the life of work William Spears has invested in this text, you have a resource that provides authentic, thorough guidance. He writes it in a wonderful manner that allows you to choose your own challenges, but with the tools included to have a 'best chance' of finding both methodology and reward. And when you master an aspect of Stoicism, it allows you to 'bite off' another piece of its life-sustaining wisdom and approach any challenge with confidence.While Stoicism has seen an explosion in popular interest, and is widely embraced in military circles, no serious philosophical work has yet explored its full relevance to the military profession.
