"Stoicism and Emotion" examines the relationship between Stoic philosophy and emotion. It explores how Stoicism, a philosophical system of moral training, shapes emotion, and in turn, how emotion shapes Stoic ethical thought. The book begins by looking at the Stoic view of emotions, including the distinction between natural and unnatural emotions, and the Stoic belief that emotions can be controlled by reason. It then considers how Stoicism has been applied to a range of emotions, from joy and fear to anger and grief. Finally, the book examines how Stoicism has been adapted to modern and postmodern contexts, including its use in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. In doing so, it offers readers a comprehensive overview of the history and evolution of Stoic thought and its influence on emotion.
