If you strip Stoicism of its paradoxes and its wilful misuse of
language, what is left is simply the moral philosophy of Socrates,
Plato and Aristotle, dashed with the physics of Heraclitus.
Stoicism was not so much a new doctrine as the form under which the
old Greek philosophy finally presented itself to the world at
large. It owed its popularity in some measure to its extravagance.
A great deal might be said about Stoicism as a religion and about
the part it played in the formation of Christianity but these
subjects were excluded by the plan of this volume which was to
present a sketch of the Stoic doctrine based on the original
authorities.
