The Stoic idea of the city

by

  • 1 Want to read

"The Stoic Idea of the City offers a pioneering treatment of the political philosophy of ancient Stoicism. Classical scholar Malcolm Schofield explores the Stoics' notions of natural law and world citizenship, which - as Martha Nussbaum notes in her new foreword - constitute their most important legacy to modern political thought.

But Schofield begins by excavating from scattered and underused textual evidence the Platonized conception of erotic love treated by Zeno, founder of the school, as a key principle of political unity. An epilogue specially written for this edition further enhances this text as a standard work on Stoicism."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

"The longest single report on the contents of Zeno's Republic that we possess is not a straightforward piece of doxography, but an account of those elements in the work to which a Sceptic called Cassius objected (D.L. VII 32-4): But there are some, including Cassius the Sceptic and his followers, who attack Zeno on many points."
