Deleuze dramatises the story of ancient philosophy as a rivalry of
four types of thinkers: the subverting pre-Socratics, the ascending
Plato, the interiorising Aristotle and the perverting Stoics.
Deleuze assigns the Stoics a privileged place because they
introduced a new orientation for thinking and living that turns the
whole story of philosophy inside out. Ryan Johnson reveals
Deleuze's provocative reading of ancient Stoicism produced many of
his most singular and powerful ideas. For Deleuze, the Stoics were
innovators of an entire system of philosophy which they structured
like an egg. Johnson structures his book in this way: Part I looks
at physics (the yolk), Part II is logic (the shell) and Part III
covers ethics (the albumen). Including previously untranslated
French Stoic scholarship, Johnson unearths new possibilities for
bridging contemporary and ancient philosophy.
