If the Stoics teach that real freedom is inner, do they then condone enslavement? The Stoics never challenge the institution of slavery. In the current “cancel culture” with monuments of oppression toppling, why consort with ancient philosophers who not only condoned enslavement, but celebrated inner freedom as the most noble kind of liberation? Seneca grapples with the issue, but his principle of humane treatment of enslaved persons is driven more by expediency than social conscience. Stoicism is a way to endure and cultivate inner virtue when tight control from outside threatens your very being. It was a philosophy suited for the times. It again feels like a philosophy for the times. There is much to learn from the ancients. But there are also mistakes to avoid, including a retreat inward that runs from the full promise of humanity and true moral and social progress.

AbstractThe Algol-type eclipsing binary WX Eridani was observed on 21 nights on the 48-inch telescope of the Japal-Rangapur Observatory during 1973-75 in B and V colours. An improved period of P = 0.82327038 days was obtained from the analysis of the times of five primary minima. An absorption feature between phase angles 50-80, 100-130, 230-260 and 280-310 was present in the light curves. The analysis of the light curves indicated the eclipses to be grazing with primary to be transit and secondary, an occultation. Elements derived from the solution of the light curve using Russel-Merrill method are given. From comparison of the fractional radii with Roche lobes, it is concluded that none of the components have filled their respective lobes but the primary star seems to be evolving. The spectral type of the primary component was estimated to be F3 and is found to be pulsating with two periods equal to one-fifth and one-sixth of the orbital period.
