This volume examines the influence that Epicureanism and Stoicism,
two philosophies of nature and human nature articulated during
classical times, exerted on the development of European thought to
the Enlightenment. Although the influence of these philosophies has
often been noted in certain areas, such as the influence of
Stoicism on the development of Christian thought and the influence
of Epicureanism on modern materialism, the chapters in this volume
contribute a new awareness of the degree to which these
philosophies and their continued interaction informed European
intellectual life well into early modern times. The influence of
the Epicurean and Stoic philosophies in the areas of literature,
philosophy, theology, and science are considered. Many thinkers
continue to perceive these philosophies as significant alternatives
for understanding the human and natural worlds. Having become
incorporated into the canon of philosophical alternatives,
Epicureanism and Stoicism continued to exert identifiable
influences on scientific and philosophical thought at least until
the middle of the eighteenth century.
