The Reception of Stoicism in the Early Modern Period

The reception of stoicism in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A shift from reading our roman stoic authors to trying to reconstruct the details of the early stoic system. And i guess its may be worth noting here that it's not only the stoics, but all three of the main helenistic schools who were influential during this period. The sceptics are a huge influence on montaigne,. descartes and hume. An scepticism in a sense shapes the development of early philosophy as it will be the next topic for John Defterios' podcasts.
