Description
Stoic and Epicurean by R. D. Hicks offers a clear and balanced account of two of the most influential schools of ancient philosophy. Hicks examines the foundations, doctrines, and moral ideals of Stoicism and Epicureanism, exploring how each sought to define the path to human happiness, virtue, and peace of mind. The book provides critical insights into their contrasting views on nature, ethics, reason, and pleasure. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible to general readers, this work is a valuable resource for students of philosophy, classics, and ethics, as well as anyone interested in understanding the legacy of Greek and Roman thought in shaping moral and intellectual traditions.
