The Revival Of Stoicism In The 16th Century - Léontine Zanta (Translated by Will Johncock)
AVAILABLE SOON
The first English language translation from the French of Léontine Zanta’s La Renaissance du Stoïcisme au XVIe Siècle (1914). In this doctoral thesis, Zanta examines the 16th century revival of Stoicism. This provides an invaluable link in tracking the continuity of interest in Stoic philosophy between the ancient and modern eras. Such a study is particularly relevant now, given the recent resurgence of attention on Stoic philosophy.
After being only the second woman in France, and the first woman in philosophy in France, to receive a doctorate, Zanta became a celebrated journalist, novellist, and protagonist in 1920s French feminism. Later intellectuals and activists such as Simone de Beauvoir accordingly refer to Zanta as an inspiration.
