  Presents an examination of the early Stoic theory of virtue. This book emphasizes in particular the theological underpinning of Stoic ethics, which Jedan contends has been underestimated in various accounts of Stoic ethics. It argues that the theological motifs in Stoic ethics are in fact pivotal to a complete understanding of Stoic ethics.
