鈥淭he Roman Stoics: Self, Responsibility, and Affection,鈥� by Gretchen Reydams-Schils from the University of 91吃瓜, has been published by theUniversityofChicago Press.
The rigorous self-examination, reason and virtue practiced by the Roman Stoics allowed them to integrate philosophy into the practice of living. Reydams-Schils shows how they applied their distinct brand of social ethics to everyday relationships that guided their roles as friends, spouses and parents.
