Beskrivning
The importance of Stoicism for Gilles Deleuze’s Logic of Sense and Michel Foucault’s Hermeneutics of the Subject and The Care of the Self is well known. However, few students of either classics or philosophy are aware of the breadth of French and Italian receptions of Stoicism. This book firstly presents this broad field to readers, and secondly advances it by renewing dialogues with ancient Stoic texts. The authors in this volume, who combine expertise in continental and Hellenistic philosophy, challenge our understanding of both modern and ancient concepts, arguments, exercises, and therapies. It conceives of Stoicism as a vital strand of philosophy which contributes to the life of contemporary thought. Flowing through the sustained, varied engagement with Stoicism by continental thinkers, this volume covers Jean-Paul Sartre, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Julia Kristeva, Alain Badiou, Émile Bréhier, Barbara Cassin, Giorgio Agamben, and Pierre Hadot. Stoic sources addressed range from doxography and well-known authors like Epictetus and Seneca to more obscure authorites like Musonius Rufus and Cornutus.

Recensioner i media

‘Lampe and Sholtz have put together a uniquely informative collection showing the extensive and sometimes surprising influence of Stoic ideas on recent French and Italian thinkers including such luminaries as Sartre, Deleuze, Badiou, Kristeva, Foucault and Agamben, as well as thinkers who should be better known in the English-speaking world (and perhaps now will be) like Barbara Cassin and Pierre Hadot.’
