Abstract

Excerpt from Roman Stoicism: Being Lectures on the History of the Stoic Philosophy With Special Reference to Its Development Within the Roman Empire W. L. Davidson writing on behalf of students of modern philosophy. Mr Hicks and Mr Davidson have recently published works dealing with the Stoic philosophy as a whole; but as neither of these quite covers the ground marked out for this book, I believe that room will be found for a further presentation of the subject. To the writers named and to many others, my obligations are great, and their extent is generally indicated in the Index. I owe a more intimate debt to Mr A. C. Pearson and Prof. Alfred caldecott, who have given me ungrudgingly of their knowledge and counsel during the whole period of the preparation of this book.
