"Long's discussions enjoy consistently thorough contextualization;
psychology cannot be understood without natural philosophy, nor
dialectic without ethics, and Long's case studies show both that
and how that is the case, in persuasive detail and with enviable
clarity. The pieces fall into three subject areas: intellectual and
cultural inheritance, ethics, and psychology."--Catherine Atherton,
New College, Oxford
"A. A. Long's "Stoic Studies does far more than bring together a
set of important papers on Stoicism. Read together, the papers in
this collection paint two pictures. One is of the author and his
broad-minded pursuit of an intellectual 'fascination, ' a pursuit
carried out with historical and literary rigour as well as
considerable philosophical ingenuity. The other is of the Stoic
school itself, emerging from a passion for Socratic arguments... It
is a long and remarkably rich philosophical history, and Tony Long
has done a very great deal to help others feel its
fascination."--Brad Inwood, University of Toronto
"Long writes in a lucid, engaging way, even when treating
difficult subjects or referring to complex scholarly and
philosophical debates. He has a special gift for combining, in
thirty pages or so, an illuminating survey of a topic with at least
one sustained analysis of a key text or theory. As a result, this
collection has a coherence and internal development that makes it
comparable with a good monograph."--Christopher Gill, University of
Exeter
