| Zusammenfassung: | 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.

The book concludes by considering what, if anything, we are to make of Seneca's efforts to enlighten us |
