Stoicism and the Western political tradition[electronic resource] /by Lisa Hill, Eden Blazejak. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2021. - vii, 254 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction: Stoic Political Thought and its Relevance for the Early-Modern Period -- Chapter 2: Eighteenth Century Sociability Debates: Stoicism and the Battle with Modern Epicureanism -- Chapter 3: Stoic Cosmopolitanism and Enlightenment Internationalism -- Chapter 4: Stoicism and Utilitarian Thought -- Chapter 5: Stoicism, Proto-rights, Self-ownership and John Locke -- Chapter 6: Stoic Feminism and Early Modern Women Writers -- Chapter 7: Conclusion. Bibliography.

This book uniquely recovers and assesses Stoic political thought by tracking its uptake into Western modernity and exploring the extent of its impact. Classical Stoicism has lately seen a popular resurgence inspiring self-help books and therapeutic treatments for anxiety and depression. As a scholarly source for the Western political tradition, it is even more important. Yet, as A.A. Long once observed: "[o]f all the ancient philosophies, Stoicism has probably had the most diffused" yet least "adequately acknowledged influence on Western thought." This close textual study not only provides the first systematic study of the political content of Stoic thought but also establishes the hitherto under-appreciated influence of classical Stoicism on the political thought of the long eighteenth century and beyond in Europe and particularly Britain. The Stoic ideas upon which we focus include their cosmopolitanism, their contribution to sociability and self-interest debates, their influence on modern feminism and utilitarianism, and their prefiguration of modern conceptions of personal rights.
