Steven K. StrangeCambridge University Press, 12/6/1990EAN 9780521181648, ISBN10: 052118164XPaperback, 310 pages, 22.8 x 15.2 x 2 cmLanguage: EnglishStoicism is now widely recognise
d as one of the most important philosophical schools of ancient Greece and Rome. But how did it influence Western thought after Greek and Roman antiquity? The question is a difficult one to answer because the most important Stoic texts have been lost since the end of the classical period, though not before early Christian thinkers had borrowed their ideas and applied them to discussions ranging from dialectic to moral theology. Later philosophers became familiar with Stoic teachings only indirectly, often without knowing that an idea came from the Stoics. The contributors recruited for this volume, first published in 2004, include some of the leading international scholars of Stoicism as well as experts in later periods of philosophy. They trace the impact of Stoicism and Stoic ideas from late antiquity through the medieval and modern periods.Introduction Steven K. Strange and Jack Zupko1.
