I’ve been reading the rather long authorized biography of Robert A. Heinlein by William Patterson. I’m only reading the second book which details his life from 1948 until his death and I’m intrigued by his quoting the Greek philosopher Epictetus. Now I’m wondering if Heinlein was a serious student of Stoicism. I probably need to read further to get more insight about such matters since I’m only on page 277 of 671 pages.
