Stoic Ethics: Epictetus and Happiness as Freedom… par William O. Stephens
All in all, not a bad treatment, well argued in places. Longer critical passages containing an apology for Epictetus to each 'count' that Stephens brings against Stoicism in his very brief concluding remarks would have improved it.
