Brill's Companion to Musonius Rufus

This ground-breaking volume offers the first extensive discussion of Musonius Rufus' thought on its own terms. Each of the surviving discourses and the fragments receives individual and comprehensive attention, with a specific focus on the most important philosophical, philological and social issues that shape each text. This wide-ranging and multi-disciplinary volume establishes Musonius as an independent and autonomous Stoic thinker, and opens up new avenues of enquiry into his work. It is an indispensable and comprehensive companion to this significant Roman Stoic.
