Reviews

• "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)

 

• "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)

 

• "there has never been any attempt in any language to cover Stoic reception so broadly. [...] this will be a very useful reference volume for scholars working in a wide range of fields." (Byrn Mawr Classical Reviews - full review here)
