This is an honest little book. It presents each of the four main Hellenistic schools (Cynics, Stoics, Epicureans, Sceptics) in outline and then discusses the position each of them held in relation to a number of daily life issues... [Curnow] gives a minimalist version of the essential teachings of each school: it is commendable how much Curnow manages to pack in...
