About this book
Ancient arguments about reason, duty and the human soul take their place in Roman public life in Edward Vernon Arnold's study of Stoicism. Developed from lectures for classical students, the book follows the philosophy through its Greek foundations and its growth within the Roman Empire. Its chapters connect logic and physics with religion, daily conduct and the place of Stoic thought in Roman literature. Arnold treats the school as a link between ancient and modern thinking.
The discussion of the soul gives a close view of his method. Reason and will appear as intertwined powers, with judgments leading toward action and moral health depending on their proper direction. References to Marcus Aurelius sit alongside explanations of Stoic terminology and comparisons with bodily health or government.
