This original and provocative engagement with Erasmus' work argues
that the Dutch humanist discovered in classical Stoicism several
principles which he developed into a paradigm-shifting application
of Stoicism to Christianity. Ross Dealy offers novel readings of
some lesser and well-known Erasmian texts and presents a detailed
discussion of the reception of Stoicism in the Renaissance. In a
considered interpretation of Erasmus' De taedio Iesu, Dealy clearly
shows the two-dimensional Stoic elements in Erasmus' thought from
an early time onward. Erasmus' genuinely philosophical disposition
is evidenced in an analysis of his edition of Cicero's De officiis.
Building on stoicism Erasmus shows that Christ's suffering in
Gethsemane was not about the triumph of spirit over flesh but about
the simultaneous workings of two opposite but equally essential
types of value: on the one side spirit and on the other involuntary
and intractable natural instincts.
