Reviews

'This monograph by Rene Brouwer offers the best investigation to date of the (early) Stoic ideal of the sage and the Stoic conception of wisdom. It is an extremely solid and conscientious piece of work. The relevant sources, also ones that are lesser known, are given in the original Greek or Latin as well as in English translation, and interpreted with great care and precision, and appropriate caution. In doing so, Brouwer comprehensively considers the relevant scholarly literature, not just the more recent publications, and not just, as is common these days, those in English only. ... The author's undisputed expertise makes one hope that he will further investigate this topic, fuel more discussion, and bring about more insights.' Maximilian Forschner, translated from Bryn Mawr Classical Review '[This book] offers many insights, and its main conclusions point, suggestively and fruitfully, to useful directions for further research.' Jacob Klein, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
