Tad Brennan

American philosopher at Cornell who is a leading scholar of Stoic philosophy — whose The Stoic Life provides the most accessible and philosophically rigorous account of Stoic ethics and psychology available in English.

Provides the clearest contemporary account of Stoic psychology — the Stoic theory of the passions (as false value judgments), the doctrine of preferred indifferents, and the sage ideal — making Stoic ethics precisely available to contemporary philosophical discussion.
