Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Clarendon Press, Oxford, 2005. XVI,376p. Original blue cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Signature and date on free endpaper. Some vague remains of pencil markings and annotations. 'Inwood has given us a serious Seneca, a deeply learned philosopher whose allegiance to the Stoic school amounts to unflagging devotion and yet has room for creative development. Seneca?s lighter and more literary side, his pumpkinification farce, his mythological tragedies, his stylistic flourishes and fondness for storytelling, have no place in the twelve essays that constitute Reading Seneca. Instead, we find the Seneca of the major treatises, De Ira, De Beneficiis, Natural Questions, and of the Moral Epistles, a man deeply committed to rational inquiry and deserving at least a modicum of the critical attention we give to Aristotle or Augustine. The volume collects under one cover a series of articles produced by the author over a period of fifteen years. Most have been published separately, although there are two new additions, together with a cumulative bibliography and indices. (.) A welcome result of having these essays brought together is the cumulative sense they give of Inwood?s characteristics as a reader not only of Seneca but of a wide range of philosophical authors. His way of working with a text is exemplary in the patience, even meekness, with which he traces the outlines of a lengthy discussion, endeavoring to make the main direction clear but refusing to flatten out interesting variations on an idea. It is his practice to combine philosophical with philological methods: an issue is presented and analyzed, then followed up with careful documentation via terminological study and reading of statements in context. Linguistic sensitivity is a major concern. (.) More specifically literary sensibilities are sometimes brought to bear, notably in the reading of metaphor and analogy. For Seneca studies, as for readings of Plato, it is essential to draw some distinctions among the various types and uses of metaphor in philosophical explanation. (.) In addition, the collection gives evidence of what subjects have most interested Inwood as a philosopher over recent years. (.) Finally, the collected essays reveal Inwood?s long-term commitment to dealing with the entirety of Seneca?s philosophical output.' (MARGARET GRAVER in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2007.06.45).

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Brad Inwood presents a selection of his most influential essays on the philosophy of Seneca, the Roman Stoic thinker, statesman, and tragedian of the first century AD. Including two brand-new pieces, and a helpful introduction to orient the reader, this volume will be an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand Seneca's fertile, wide-ranging thought and its impact on subsequent generations.In each of these essays Seneca is considered asa philosopher, but with as much account as possible taken of his life, his education, his intellectual and literary background, his career, and his self-presentation as an author. Seneca emerges as adiscerning and well-read Stoic, with a strong inclination to think for himself in the context of an intellectual climate teeming with influences from other schools. Seneca's intellectual engagement with Platonism, Aristotelianism, and even with Epicureanism involved a wide range of substantial philosophical interests and concerns. His philosophy was indeed shaped by the fact that he was a Roman, but he was a true philosopher shaped by his culture rather than a Roman writer trying his hand atphilosophical themes. The highly rhetorical character of his writing must be accounted for when reading his works, and when one does so the underlying philosophical themes stand out more clearly. Whileit is hard to generalize about an overall intellectual agenda or systematic philosophical method, key themes and strategies are evident. Inwood shows how Seneca's philosophical ingenium worked itself out in a fundamentally particularistic way as he pursued those aspects of Stoicism that engaged him most forcefully over his career. Presents a selection of the author's most influential essays on the philosophy of Seneca, the Roman Stoic thinker, statesman, and tragedian of the first century AD. Including a helpful introduction to orient the reader, this volume is of interest to those seeking to understand Seneca's fertile thought and its impact on subsequent generations.
