INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT LAOZI AND DAO DE JING AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH EPICTETO'S STOICISM

Abstract

The present article has two goals: the first is to present, even if in general lines, the thought expressed in Laozi’s work, Dao De Jing, considered one of the greatest classics of the chinese thought. The second goal is to engage in a initial dialogue between the assumptions presented by Laozi’s daoism and Epictetus’s stoicism and, from here, establish a discursive space between these two traditions of thought.
