Zusatztext '... [A] welcome contribution to the literature on the multifaceted aspects of the remarkably consistent and complete metaphysics of ancient Stoicism. The references and the index are excellent. Summing Up: Recommended.' - P. A. Streveler, CHOICE'All in all, this will be a very useful reference volume for scholars working in a wide range of fields.' - Kurt Lampe, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'For a long time historians of post-Renaissance philosophy have been telling each other that they need to take into account the influence of the ideas and aspirations of the Stoics. But they've done so without knowing enough about the details of reception and transmission. Here, at last, is a comprehensive, complex and fascinating account of the Stoic legacy that will be a standard reference work for decades to come. It will be invaluable for those seeking to understand the philosophy of the past on its own terms.' - James A. Harris, University of St. Andrews, UK'A unique and very impressive volume. The editor and contributors are absolutely first rate, and the topics and solidity of scholarship really asks the reader to rethink the scope, substance, and forms of a wide-ranging "tradition" of interpretation and reinterpretation that many might think is reducible to a few maxims.' – Aaron Garrett, Boston University, USA Informationen zum Autor John Sellars is a Lecturer in Philosophy at Royal Holloway!
