'Not only one of the best but also the most comprehensive treatment
of Stoicism written this century.' -""Times Literary Supplement ""
Stoic philosophy had a profound effect on thought and conduct in
the ancient world, and has continued to influence philosophers and
thinkers from the Renaissance to the present day. Professor
Sandbach, in this brilliant and original study, presents the main
outlines of the system, concentrating in particular on the ethical
teaching, historically the most important facet of the Stoic
philosophy. The author traces the changes in doctrine and emphasis
through the centuries, gives an account of individual thinkers and
writers and describes the role played by adherents of the Stoic
faith in contemporary society. The Stoics will be welcomed both by
classicists and philosophers as well as by the general reader, as a
lucid exposition of an important philosophy. ""Will prove lucid for
the uninitiated and stimulating for the specialist.' -""Classical
