Deleuze assigns the Stoics a privileged place because they introduced a new orientation for thinking and living that turns the whole story of philosophy inside out. Ryan Johnson reveals how Deleuze's provocative reading of ancient Stoicism produced many of his most singular and powerful ideas. For Deleuze, the Stoics were innovators of an entire system of philosophy which they structured like an egg. Johnson structures his book in this way: Part I looks at physics (the yolk), Part II is logic (the shell) and Part III covers ethics (the albumen). Including previously untranslated French Stoic scholarship, Johnson unearths new possibilities for bridging contemporary and ancient philosophy. Ryan J. Johnson is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Elon University in North Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh UP","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45091220291735,"sku":"9781474462167","price":1951.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781474462167.webp?v=1769203986","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/deleuze-a-stoic-9781474462167","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
