Stoicism

"Stoicism: The Long Tradition" explores the rich, often overlooked origins of Stoic philosophy, tracing its development from its founding in Athens by Zeno through its many influential teachers and cultural shifts over five centuries. The book reveals how the original Stoic system—encompassing logic, physics, and ethics—differs from the modern revival often focused solely on ethical advice. It offers readers a comprehensive view of the ancient philosophy, from its cosmology and logic to its influence on Roman culture and beyond, providing a deeper understanding of the full Stoic tradition.
