Abstract
There is a significant way in which Clement of Alexandria's ethical reflection both overlaps with and modifies pagan ideas: his ideals concerning the care of the soul. They are significant for assessing Clement's relationship to the greco-roman tradition. Analysis of these ideals will help to identify and disassemble the more subtle mechanisms which characterize Clement's ethics. His identification of the self for whom the christian cares, his descrription of the mode and means of that cultivation and the goal of self-cultivation he establishes both echo and transpose ideals of the care of the self inherited from the pagan philosophical tradition
