This volume compiles contemporary records of the ancient polemic against stoicism a doctrine whose rigid notions led to perpetual conflict about its image of the world and of man. The texts are arranged according to the nature and mode of their argument against stoicism: skeptical anti-dogmatism, stoical self-critique, satirical parody, polemical rejection, critical distancing, and narrative depiction.
