Description

The Graeco-Roman philosophy called Stoicism has become a major subject of research during the past three decades. In this book a leading scholar in the field assembles a dozen of his papers on Stoicism, focusing on three themes: ethics, psychology and the Stoics' interpretation of their intellectual tradition. The papers are distinctive in their accessibility and breadth of reference, both ancient and modern, and the collection has considerable thematic unity.

Reviews

'[Long] has, unquestionably, been one of the most original and important scholars of Hellenistic philosophy ... Long's treatment of complex and relatively unexamined material is consistently lucid and suggestive ... an outstanding volume.' The Classical Review
