None of the authors undertakes a systematic comparison between Stoic theories and modern ones. Yet readers may gain enormously from studying these essays. Learning how different these theories are from modern ones cannot but help us put in perspective some of our own preconceptions on particular problems and, hence, expand our philosophical imagination.

Mind

The two essays on Stoic political philosophy - 'The Stoic Origin of Natural Rights' by Philip Mitsis and 'The Stoic Sage in the Cosmic City' by Dirk Obbink - are significant contributions to the subject.

Mind

A welcome contribution to 'the still ongoing attempt to reappraise all parts of Stoic philosophy' ... all the essays are polemic and constitute valuable contributions to the topics they tackle.

Mind

Stoicism (third century BC to second century AD) is one of the richest and most influential intellectual traditions of antiquity. Leading scholars here contribute new studies of a set of topics which are the focus of current research in this area. They combine careful analytical attention to the original texts with historical sensitivity and philosophical acuity, to provide the basis for a better understanding of Stoic ethics, political theory, logic, and physics. Whereas till recently the study of Hellenistic philosophy has been mainly a historical enterprise, these essays demonstrate that a proper treatment of Stoicism engages us in philosophical questions of considerable current relevance and interest.

`This collection of essays by prominent philosophers and classicists contains studies that specialists will find valuable ... fresh and challenging readings of important issues in Stoic philosophy, which will stimulate additional response from within the scholarly community.
