Sellars John - The Routledge handbook of the Stoic tradition

THE ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK

OF THE STOIC TRADITION

The ancient philosophy of Stoicism has been a crucial and formative influence on the development of Western thought since its inception through to the present day. It is not only an important area of study in philosophy and classics, but also in theology and literature.

The Routledge Handbook of the Stoic Tradition is the first volume of its kind, and an out-standing guide and reference source to the nature and continuing significance of Stoicism. Comprising twenty-six chapters by a team of international contributors and organized chronologically, the Handbook is divided into four parts:

Antiquity and the Middle Ages, including Stoicism in Rome; Stoicism in early Christianity; the Platonic response to Stoicism; and Stoic influences in the late Middle Ages

Renaissance and Reformation, addressing the impact of Stoicism on the Italian Renaissance, Reformation thought, and early modern English literature including Shakespeare

Early modern Europe, including Stoicism and early modern French thought; the Stoic influence on Spinoza and Leibniz; Stoicism and the French and Scottish Enlightenments; and Kant and Stoic ethics

The modern world, including Stoicism in nineteenth-century German philosophy; Stoicism in Victorian culture; Stoicism in America; Stoic themes in contemporary Anglo-American ethics; and the Stoic influence on modern psychotherapy.

An invaluable resource for anyone interested in the philosophical history and impact of Stoic thought, The Routledge Handbook of the Stoic Tradition is essential reading for all students and researchers working on the subject.

John Sellars is a Research Fellow in the Department of Philosophy, Kings College London, UK, where he also works on the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle project. He is a member of Wolfson College, Oxford, and the author of The Art of Living: The Stoics on theNature and Function of Philosophy (2009), and Stoicism (2006).
