Summary
Author R. D. Hicks bases his exposition of the parallel systems of thought on independent study of the original authorities. His treatment starts with an analysis of writings by early Stoics — Zeno, Cleanthes, and Chrysippus — and their successors, Epictetus and Seneca. A study of the rival school follows, focusing on the teachings of Epicurus and Lucretius. Subsequent chapters examine the conflicts and opposition that continually modified Stoic doctrine, including the rise of Skepticism and Eclecticism. The text is complemented by a select bibliography and a chronological table of noteworthy thinkers and writers.
