Philosophic Pride: Stoicism and Political Thought from Lipsius to Rousseau Hardcover - 2012
by Christopher Brooke
From the rear cover
"Remarkable for its wide historical sweep, this elegant book is a great addition to the existing literature on the philosophical history of pride. It is a rigorous, original, and flawlessly executed work on a topic of great interest. An utter joy to read."--Frederick Neuhouser, Barnard College
"Philosophic Pride offers a fresh look at how ancient Stoic philosophy was received, adapted, criticized, and accepted, from the end of the sixteenth up to the middle of the eighteenth century. Surveying this large field with more amplitude and exactitude than anything else on offer, this book will be important for scholars of the humanities and specialists."--Anthony Long, University of California, Berkeley
"An outstanding study of the fortunes of Stoicism in early modern moral and political thought, Philosophic Pride examines arguments for and against Stoic themes in the writings of moral and political philosophers, from Justus Lipsius to Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Brooke's exposition of the primary sources is unfailingly lucid, and his treatment of work by other scholars is remarkable in its range."--James Moore, emeritus professor, Concordia University
