Description
Explore the complex relationship between emotion and reason in the works of Seneca the Younger. This scholarly text from Oxford University Press examines how Seneca views feelings within his scientific, philosophical, and literary writings. While older studies often viewed emotion as an obstacle to moral progress that must be removed by reason, this work looks at how Seneca integrates sensations like fear and shame into his philosophy. By studying the Natural Questions and beyond, readers gain insight into how Seneca framed certain emotions as ethically beneficial. This book provides a deep look at subjectivity and knowledge through the lens of Seneca's unique perspective on the human experience.
