Like its ancient rivals, Stoic ethics was a form of virtue ethics,
yet while the concept of virtue was clearly central to Stoic
ethics, the concept of Stoic virtue has not yet been fully
explored. Instead, the existing literature tends to impose on the
Stoic material philosophically quite alien non-Aristotelian
interpretations of virtue. According to Christoph Jedan, however, a
thorough examination of the Stoic concept of virtue leads to a
reassessment of our understanding of Stoic ethics. This book
emphasises in particular the theological underpinning of Stoic
ethics, which Jedan contends has been underestimated in current
accounts of Stoic ethics. Jedan argues that the theological motifs
in Stoic ethics are in fact pivotal to a complete understanding of
Stoic ethics. The book focuses on Chrysippus, the most important of
the early Stoic thinkers, suggesting that his contribution, and in
particular its religious aspect, remained a key point of reference
for later Stoics. This fascinating book makes a crucial
contribution to the field of ancient ethics.>
