Shows that this is a largely unexplored area of interest to scholars of both ancient philosophy and aestheticsAnalyses material to show that there is a coherent and substantial attempt at systematic enquiry into aesthetic phenomenaDiscusses how Stoic ideas could enhance our understanding of ancient aesthetics and even contribute to contemporary aestheticsAistė Čelkytė shows us that Stoic views about beauty were substantial and compelling. She examines the ways in which the Stoics used aesthetic vocabulary in their arguments to demonstrate that aesthetic concepts played an important role in their philosophy.
Čelkytė argues that understanding the Stoic’s aesthetic views allows us to interpret their famous account of virtue more thoroughly. She also explores the place that Stoic aesthetics has within the broader ancient Greek and Roman tradition, highlighting the value of incorporating Stoic views in the discussions of aesthetic properties and values.
