The Nature of Man in Early Stoic Philosophy.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht abgenutzt, allgemein guter Zustand / Dust jacket slightly worn, otherwise in good condition. - This book presents a coherent account of Stoic epistemology and makes passages which are relevant and significant available to readers who know little or no Greek. In the first chapter the nature of man is examined from several points of view, as a physical body, and as a metaphysical entity possessing various characteristics; in the second there is an analysis of the �Stoic classes of Being�. The remaining chapters are an account of the Stoic theories of the mind: the presentation, the various kinds of assent to the presentation, the criterion of truth, and the state of affairs signified by articulate sound. They contain a discussion of the process of decision, the emotions and the virtues. ISBN 9780312035792
