The contributors to this book are themselves revitalizing Stoicism by drawing our attention to unfamiliar perspectives on a tradition, which deserves to be explored and evaluated by us now more than ever before.' * Donald Robertson, author of Stoicism and the Art of Happiness and How to Think Like a Roman Emperor. *\u003cbr\u003eThis volume breaks new ground in its close examination of French and Italian twentieth-century responses to Stoicism, especially on the topics of language and freedom. A series of thoughtful and perceptive essays open up a complex intellectual terrain that will be of interest both to students of modern Continental philosophy and Stoicism. * Christopher Gill, Emeritus Professor of Ancient Thought, University of Exeter, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
