"It's easy to recommend this book as the best introduction to the subject." - The Philosophers' Magazine "An excellent introduction to the central themes of Stoicism." - R. W. Sharples, Philosophical Books "Outstanding ... Sellars has risen splendidly to the challenge of providing a new generation of students with an introduction to Stoicism. I recommend the book without hesitation. It is clearly written, well organized, and beautifully produced." - Robin Waterfield, Heythrop Journal "A lucid, informative and thoughtful introduction to Stoicism. The book provides an overview that is both highly readable and yet based on solid academic study." - C. J. Gill, University of Exeter "Stoicism needs a new work of this kind. Sellars not only takes good account of the last thirty years of research, he also has much of his own to contribute. I particularly applaud his focus on Epictetus and on Stoicism as an art of life." - A. A. Long, University of California, Berkeley
