About the Author :
Andrew Erskine is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Edinburgh, UK.

Review :
Learned and provocative with valuable comments on the connection between philosophic notions of psychology and political theory. All students of ancient society will find this a book worth reading. Erskine tells a clear, well organised and ambitious story. ... after decades in which English-speaking ancient historians had nothing much to say about politics and philosophy [he] has made a stimulating and substantial contribution to the new debate on their interaction. Although it should appeal to a broad range of scholarly approaches, Stoic political philosophy has received little attention. Hence Andrew Erskine’s new book is especially welcome. It is impressively broad in scope. It not only offers the first detailed study of the early Stoics’ political philosophy and its Roman reception, but three of its eight chapters also treat their participation in politics and their influence on political ideology ... this book marks the first serious account of Stoic political philosophy. This book should be on the reading-list of any graduate-level course which considers the philosophy or political thought of the Hellenistic period.
