Descrizione The Hellenistic Stoa: Political Thought and Action
Stoicism, which came to be closely identified with the Roman establishment, began as a radical doctrine. Indeed Zeno, the first Stoic, embarrassed his Roman successors by advocating the abolition of money, private property and marriage. How did this change come about? Andrew Erskine pieces together the evidence for early Stoic political thought to examine the transition, setting the philosophy in its historical context.This was the first book to treat in depth the Stoic attitude to society in its political environment. It is now issued in paperback for the first time with a new Preface reviewing developments over the twenty years since first publication and an updated Bibliography.
