This is a collective study, in nine new essays, of the close
connection between theology and cosmology in Stoic philosophy. The
Stoic god is best described as the single active physical principle
that governs the whole cosmos. The first part of the book covers
three essential topics in Stoic theology: the active and
demiurgical character of god, his corporeal nature and
irreducibility to matter, and fate as the network of causes through
which god acts upon the cosmos. The second part turns to Stoic
cosmology, and how it relates to other cosmologies of the time. The
third part examines the ethical and religious consequences of the
Stoic theories of god and cosmos.
