Stoic Virtues: Chrysippus and the Theological Foundations of Stoic Ethics
Publisher: Continuum | ISBN 10: 1441112529 | 2010 | PDF | 230 pages | 2.4 MB

This is an important new monograph offering the first sustained examination of the early Stoic theory of virtue. Like its ancient rivals, Stoic ethics was a form of virtue ethics, yet while the concept of virtue was clearly central to Stoic ethics, the concept of Stoic virtue has not yet been fully explored. Instead, the existing literature tends to impose on the Stoic material philosophically quite alien non-Aristotelian interpretations of virtue. According to Christoph Jedan, however, a thorough examination of the Stoic concept of virtue leads to a reassessment of our understanding of Stoic ethics.
