Abstract

Both our view of Seneca's philosophical thought and our approach to the ancient consolatory genre have radically changed since the latest commentary on the Consolatio ad Marciam was written in 1981. The aim of this work is to offer a new book-length commentary on the earliest of Seneca's extant writings, along with a revision of the Latin text and a reassessment of Seneca's intellectual program, strategies, and context. A crucial document to penetrate Seneca's discourse on the self in its embryonic stages, the Ad Marciam is here taken seriously as an engaging attempt to direct the persuasive power of literary models and rhetorical devices toward the fundamentally moral project of healing Marcia's grief and correcting her cognitive distortions. Through close reading of the Latin text, this commentary shows that Seneca invariably adapts different traditions and voices - from Greek consolations to Plato's dialogues, from the Roman discourse of gender and exemplarity to epic poetry - to a Stoic framework, so as to give his reader a lucid understanding of the limits of the self and the ineluctability of natural laws.

Abstract

Was tun, wenn ein Mensch im Sterben liegt? Begleiten und somit Trost spenden - aber wie? Die Beiträge des interdisziplinären Bandes geben beruflich oder privat mit dem Tod konfrontierten Menschen Rat, wie Sterbende auf ihrem letzten Weg zu unterstützen sind. So leiten sie an zu einer ganzheitlichen Sterbebegleitung. What may be done when a person is dying? Accompany and thus give comfort - but how? The contributions of this interdisciplinary volume give professional or individual advice to people confronted with death on how to support dying people in their last days and hours. In this way they lead to a holistic palliative and terminal care. Der Band enthält Beiträge für unterschiedliche Zielgruppen. Einige sind wichtig für die Ausbildung und Weiterbildung von Ehrenamtlichen, Studierenden und Hauptamtlichen, die direkt mit Sterbenden oder ihren Angehörigen arbeiten bzw. sich darauf vorbereiten. Socialnet.de, 17.02.2017 Dem interdisziplinären Konzept folgend kommen neben der Theologie auch andere Disziplinen zu Wort, etwa ein sehr lesenswerter Beitrag über den Umgang mit Sterben, Tod und Trauer in der Literatur oder eine Beschreibung der verschiedenen Phasen des Trauerns und unterschiedlicher Therapiemöglichkeiten. Interessant sind auch die Praxisbeispiele im zweiten Teil und vorbildlich die kommentierten Literaturhinweise. Erwachsenenbildung 3/2013

Abstract

The Nature of Grief is a provocative new study on the evolution of grief. Most literature on the topic regards grief either as a psychiatric disorder or illness to be cured. In contrast to this, John Archer shows that grief is a natural reaction to losses of many sorts, even to the death of a pet, and he proves this by bringing together material from evolutionary psychology, ethology and experimental psychology. This innovative new work will be required reading for developmental and clinical psychologists and all those in the caring professions.
