Description for Stoicism and Emotion
Hardcover. The Stoic philosophers of ancient Greece and Rome were interested in the emotions. This book shows that they did not simply advocate a suppression of feeling, as stoicism implies in English, but examined these powerful psychological responses, seeking to understand what attitude toward them expresses the deepest respect for human potential. Num Pages: 272 pages, 9 tables. BIC Classification: HPCA; HPM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 236 x 163 x 26. Weight in Grams: 588.

In this work, Margaret R. Graver gives a compelling new interpretation of the Stoic position. ... Read more
