Abstract

This is an extended meditation on ethics in literature across the Senecan corpus. There are two chapters on the Moral Letters, asking how one is to read philosophy or how one can write about being. Moving from the Letters to the Natural Questions and Dialogues, Professor Gunderson explores how authorship works at the level both of the work and of the world, the ethics of seeing, and the question of how one can give up on the here and now and behold instead some other, better ethical sphere. Seneca's tragedies offer words of caution: desire might well subvert reason at its most profound level (Phaedra), or humanity's painful separation from the sublime might be part of some cruel divine plan (The Madness of Hercules). The book concludes by considering what, if anything, we are to make of Seneca's efforts to enlighten us.

Abstract

Einen wissenschaftlichen Gesamtkommentar zu Senecas Epistulae morales gibt es bisher nicht. Lediglich Kommentare zu einer Briefauswahl oder zu einzelnen Briefen wurden vorgelegt. Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt eine Gruppe von drei Briefen (51, 55, 56), in denen Seneca vor dem Hintergrund des römischen Seebads Baiae und den Menschen, die sich dort oder in seiner Umgebung aufhielten, die Trias Balnea vina Venus (für römische Ohren sprichwörtlich für Lasterhaftigkeit und Verweichlichung) in kunst- und humorvoller Weise von den Inhalten stoischer praktischer Ethik absetzt. Gemeinsames Thema ist die Relevanz des Aufenthaltsortes für denjenigen, der in der stoischen Philosophie Fortschritte machen möchte. Der Schwerpunkt der Kommentierung liegt auf der Analyse von Einzelthemen der Briefe unter Berücksichtigung ihrer Stellung im Kontext der Schriften Senecas und der antiken Literatur.

Abstract

John Henderson explores three letters of Seneca describing visits to Roman villas, and surveys the whole collection to show how these villas work as designs for contrasting lives. Seneca's own place is ageing drastically; a recent Epicurean's paradise is a seductive oasis away from the dangers of Nero's Rome; once a fortress of the dour Rome of yesteryear, the legendary Scipio's lair was now a shrine to the old morality: Seneca revels in its primitive bath-house, dark and cramped, before exploring the garden with the present owner. Seneca brings the philosophical epistle to Latin literature, creating models for moralizing which feature self-criticism, parody and re-animated myth. Virgil and Horace come in for rough handling, as the Latin moralist wrests ethical practice and writing away from Greek gurus and texts, and into critical thinking within a Roman context. Here is powerful teaching on metaphor and translation, on self-transformation and cultural tradition.
