5.0 out of 5 stars
An outstanding tool for students and scholars
This is probably the best collection of scholarly articles on ancient Stoicism available. Brad Inwood has gathered together some of the top specialists in the field and has produced what is sure to be a standard and essential resource for scholars and students for years to come. Well written and edited, this is an ideal companion to the primary texts and fragments...

Inaccessible
I found it to be a snobbish work full of obscure words and language, and boring. It is very scholarly and how brow, and a drag to read. I imagine that some persons would reason that this is appropriate for such a book, but even so, I could not finish it. It did not cast any light on the work of the stoics, not for me anyway. You might find it usefull though, but I did not.
