Roman Stoicism, first published in 1911, offers an authoritative
introduction to this fascinating chapter in the history of Western
philosophy, which throughout the 20th century has been rediscovered
and rehabilitated among philosophers, theologians and intellectual
historians. Stoicism played a significant part in Roman history via
the public figures who were its adherents (Seneca is perhaps the
most famous); and, as it became more widely accepted, it assumed
the features of a religion. The Stoic approach to physics, the
universe, divine providence, ethics, law and humanity are all
investigated, as is its diffuse impact upon literature. The origins
of Christianity are also examined. Arnold offers a sympathetic
reading of St. Paul in light of Stoicism, and regards the latter as
the crucial bridge between Antiquity and Christendom: it allowed a
swathe of Pagan intellectuals to join the Church and influenced the
development of Christian doctrine, thus making an immense
contribution to the bedrock of modern European civilisation.
First published in 2000. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.

Bloomsbury is the vibrant, intellectual and cultural heart of
London that proudly sits within the southern part of the London
Borough of Camden. One can meander through dignified Georgian
streets and beautiful garden squares which link us to an
extraordinary circle of writers, artists and thinkers; marvel at
the architecture of the universities, medical institutions and The
British Museum; or explore its many renowned independent bookshops.
With the collaboration of experts, Edward Arnold introduces
Bloomsbury's rich past and energetic present. Bite-sized sections
reveal historical facts, stories of social reform and Bloomsbury's
many contributions to the world. An all-in-one history and guide
book which has a wealth of images that help to illustrate this
pleasant and captivating square mile.
