After Plato and Aristotle, the Stoics, from the 3rd century BCE
onwards, developed the third great classical conception of wisdom.
This book offers a reconstruction of this pivotal notion in
Stoicism, starting out from the two extant Stoic definitions,
'knowledge of human and divine matters' and 'fitting expertise'. It
focuses not only on the question of what they understood by wisdom,
but also on how wisdom can be achieved, how difficult it is to
become a sage, and how this difficulty can be explained. The
answers to these questions are based on a fresh investigation of
the evidence, with all central texts offered in the original Greek
or Latin, as well as in translation. The Stoic Sage can thus also
serve as a source book on Stoic wisdom, which should be invaluable
to specialists and to anyone interested in one of the cornerstones
of the Graeco-Roman classical tradition.
