Seneca and Nature
Seneca and Nature Thomas G. Rosenmeyer Ralph Waldo Emerson addresses nature in two of his works: an 1836 booklet which is a ponderous religious tract1 and an elegant and sophisticated essay, one of the second series of essays published in 1844.2 His first words, "On a beautiful October day," furnish the clue for how he starts: he begins by talking of nature as if it were synonymous with the out-of-doors, especially a landscape unspoiled by human …
Senecan Drama and Stoic Cosmology
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Nero's tutor and advisor, wrote philosophical essays, some of them in the form of letters, and dramas on Greek mythological topics, which since the early Renaissance have exercised a powerful influence on the European theater. Because in his essays Seneca, in his own eclectic way, subscribes to the philosophy of the Stoic school, scholars and critics have long been asking the question whether the plays, also, could be regar…
Senecan Drama and Stoic Cosmology
This is a difficult book, at times distracting in style and organization and at others brimming with original insights. The dust-cover announces a double goal: to explore stoic cosmology in the tragedies of Seneca and to relate these dramas to subsequent European theater. The book is in two parts. The first, perplexingly entitled "The Canon at Risk" (what canon? what risk?), reviews earlier studies of stoicism in the plays of Seneca, while the se…

"What matters about a play is not the extent to which it is like any other play, but the way in which it is different," writes Thomas G. Rosenmeyer. "This is, I suggest, how the ancient audiences received the performances.... My purpose, then, in writing these essays is twofold: ... to devote enough space to the discussion of each play to allow its special tone and texture to emerge without hindrance and at leisure ... and to include in one colle…

Most of the figures in Greek tragedy, particularly those of Sophocles, are types rather than unique personalities, artfully…

IN recent attempts to date the Timaeus, comparatively little attention has been paid to its companion piece, the Critias.l The usual procedure is to study the Timaeus intensively, and to look at the Critias in passing, either to verify certain conclusions formed concerning the Timaeus, or to point to it as the unexpected vehicle of an even more surprising political novella, the Atlantis myth. This perfunctory treatment of the Critias, which will …

Socrates, Man and Myth: The Two Socratic Apologies of Xenophon
The purpose of this book, first published in 1957, is to make a critical analysis of the controversial Socratic problem. The Socratic issue owes its paramount difficulty not only to the status of available source materials, but also to the diversity of opinion as to the proper use of these materials. This volume offers a new approach to the problem, and a starting point to further investigations
