Description: Later Stoicism 155 BC to AD 200 by Brad Inwood The most comprehensive collection of passages from later Stoic thinkers, providing fresh, philosophically sensitive translations and up-to-date commentary. Includes Panaetius, Posidonius and a host of lesser known philosophers alongside generous selections from the works of Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Most modern readers of the Stoics think first of later authors such as Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. Existing works like Long and Sedleys The Hellenistic Philosophers concentrate on the Stoics of the early school. This book focusses on the more influential later school, including key figures like Panaetius and Posidonius, and provides well-chosen selections from the full range of Stoic thinkers. It emphasizes their important work in logic, physics and cosmology as well as in ethics. Fresh translations and incisive commentary present a picture of Stoic thought informed by up-to-date historical research and philosophical analysis. The book will be essential for scholars and students of ancient philosophy and of Hellenistic and Roman culture.
