Description

The Stoics, edited by John M. Rist, gathers leading scholarship to reassess one of antiquity’s most influential philosophical schools. Once dismissed as pedantic or derivative, the Stoics are now recognized as innovators whose contributions to logic, ethics, physics, and philosophical psychology rival those of Aristotle and Plato. This volume traces that reappraisal, showing how figures such as Chrysippus crafted a system of logic based on propositions rather than terms, developed a rich theory of signs and language, and articulated a vision of human rationality that shaped centuries of intellectual history. Essays range from technical studies of Stoic logic and grammar to explorations of their enduring ethical and metaphysical concerns, offering a multifaceted view of the school’s intellectual achievement. Designed for both specialists and readers encountering Stoicism in depth for the first time, this collection captures the dynamism of current debates while consolidating the gains of twentieth-century scholarship. By situating Stoic thought alongside modern developments in logic and philosophy of language, the contributors reveal its continued philosophical relevance. The Stoics is not simply a survey but a set of arguments for why Stoicism must be taken seriously today: as a system of logic of startling originality, as a rigorous moral philosophy, and as a comprehensive worldview that continues to provoke, inspire, and challenge. This volume is indispensable for philosophers, classicists, and historians of ideas seeking to understand both the foundations and the lasting significance of Stoic thought. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1978.
