Roman Stoicism

Vernon Arnold investigates the development of Stoicism, tracing its path from ancient Greece with Zeno and Epictetus, through the Roman Empire with Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, to its enduring influence on early Christian thought. Arnold posits that Stoicism represents a vital bridge between ancient and modern philosophy. With its tenets of fortitude, emotional resilience, and living in harmony with the universe, Stoicism profoundly shaped Roman statesmen, jurists, soldiers, and engineers, inspiring their great achievements and continuing to captivate readers in the modern era.
