Excerpt from Atene e Roma, 1916, Vol. 19: Bullettino della Società Italiana per la Diffusione e l'Incoraggiamento Degli Studi Classici
Era dunque un'atmosfera satura di epicureisrno quella che il giovine poeta respiro a pieni polmoni. Ma anche se queste circostanze esteriori non si fossero date, non è meno certo che nella scelta tra le due grandi correnti spirituali che prevalevano allora, quella del portico che aveva in sè assorbito il cinismo e quella dell'orto, il poeta sarebbe stato assistito da due fattori interiori i quali l'avrebbero ine sorabilmente spinto verso la seconda: voglio dire il. Temperamento che. Egli ebbe finemente aristocratico in opposizione con le origini plebee anzi servili, e il senso della misura, mentre gli Stoici, secondo la pa rola di Lattanzio, affermavano ct ser et mulieribus philosophandmn esse e si compiacevano dell'utopia e del paradosso, offendendo il senso comune o, per dir meglio, quello della società. Ben pensante di allora.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the complex relationship between political power and philosophical teaching in ancient Rome, with particular focus on the Stoic philosopher Seneca. The author reconstructs the milieu of ideas in the imperial court of the first century CE, where Seneca served as tutor and advisor to the young emperor Nero. Through a close analysis of Seneca's writings and the historical context, the book sheds new light on the practical and theoretical challenges of combining philosophical ideals with the realities of political power. The author explores Seneca's ideas on topics such as the nature of virtue, the role of the ruler, and the limits of human agency. The book also examines the tensions between Seneca's philosophical principles and the demands of imperial politics, offering insights into the complex relationship between philosophy and power in the ancient world.
