    The Meaning of Stoic Perception in Ryan Holiday‘s The Obstacle is the Way (2014): An American Transcendentalist Reading.
    (Mouloud Mammeri University OF Tizi-Ouzou, 2022) Ould Amer, Lamia; Bouindour, Amel
    The current dissertation has examined the transcendentalist vision of stoic perception in Ryan Holiday’s The obstacle is the way (2014). The aim from this research is to point out major obstacles to perception that stand on the way of success and self-improvement such as powerlessness, emotion and subjectivity, as well as to analyze Holiday’s redefinition of modern stoicism in the light of traditional American culture and thought. In order to reach this aim, a focused attention has been put on stoicism, the American transcendentalist philosophy and the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Self-reliance (1841). These three important concepts emphasized on the importance of the individual and self-discipline to attain a good perception and to reach success.
