This volume gathers together the most important evidence about Stoic thought surviving from the ancient world. It is an expanded version of the section on Stoicism in Inwood and Gerson's Hellenistic Philosophy, consolidating related texts into larger, more continuous selections.

The book adds material on the skeptical attack on Stoicism, providing a richer understanding of the discourse between different philosophical schools. A short section introduces the reader to some of the more interesting texts on Stoic ethics from the Roman imperial period, offering a glimpse into the evolution of Stoic thought through time.
