About this book
For the Greeks and Romans in this account, choosing a philosophy meant choosing a way to live. St. George William Joseph Stock begins with that commitment, placing Stoicism alongside rival schools and explaining how Zeno and Cleanthes connected happiness with reason, virtue and living according to nature. His discussion gives familiar words such as nature a precise meaning within ancient thought.
The later argument examines the distinctions that make Stoic ethics demanding: health, wealth and reputation may be preferred, yet virtue has a different standing. Stock also separates the wise person’s fully reasoned actions from the ordinary conduct described as propriety or duty. These careful explanations make the book useful for readers seeking the reasoning behind Stoic moral claims and the difficulties of translating its terms into everyday English.
