The most comprehensive collection of passages from later Stoic thinkers, providing fresh, philosophically sensitive translations and up-to-date commentary. Includes Panaetius, Posidonius and a host of lesser known philosophers alongside generous selections from the works of Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius.
Most modern readers of the Stoics think first of later authors such as Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. Existing works like Long and Sedley's The Hellenistic Philosophers concentrate on the Stoics of the early school. This book focusses on the more influential later school, including key figures like Panaetius and Posidonius, and provides well-chosen selections from the full range of Stoic thinkers. It emphasizes their important work in logic, physics and cosmology as well as in ethics. Fresh translations and incisive commentary present a picture of Stoic thought informed by up-to-date historical research and philosophical analysis. The book will be essential for scholars and students of ancient philosophy and of Hellenistic and Roman culture.

Brad Inwood is William Lampson Professor of Philosophy and Classics at Yale University. A fellow of both the Royal Society of Canada and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he has published widely on ancient Stoicism, first in 1985 with Ethics and Human Action in Early Stoicism and then with two books on Seneca the Younger: Reading Seneca: Stoic Philosophy at Rome (2003) and Seneca: Selected Philosophical Letters (2007). He is the editor of The Cambridge Companion to the Stoics (Cambridge, 2003) and author of Stoicism: A Very Short Introduction (2018).
