Highlights the important contribution Stoic philosophy made to
aesthetics Shows that this is a largely unexplored area of interest
to scholars of both ancient philosophy and aesthetics Analyses
material to show that there is a coherent and substantial attempt
at systematic enquiry into aesthetic phenomena Discusses how Stoic
ideas could enhance our understanding of ancient aesthetics and
even contribute to contemporary aesthetics Aiste Celkyte shows us
that Stoic views about beauty were substantial and compelling. She
examines the ways in which the Stoics used aesthetic vocabulary in
their arguments to demonstrate that aesthetic concepts played an
important role in their philosophy. Celkyte argues that
understanding the Stoic's aesthetic views allows us to interpret
their famous account of virtue more thoroughly. She also explores
the place that Stoic aesthetics has within the broader ancient
Greek and Roman tradition, highlighting the value of incorporating
Stoic views in the discussions of aesthetic properties and values.
