Die Untersuchung von Senecas Epistulae Morales 94 und 95 im Gesamtkontext führt zu neuen Ergebnissen.
Schafer interprets this important pair of Senecan letters, which have recently been used primarily as evidence for a critical debate in early Stoicism, as Seneca’s clearest and longest exploration of the techniques of moral education. Schafer argues against attempts to see these letters as evidence for a Stoic theory of rule-following in moral deliberation. He instead contextualizes the letters within the Epistulae Morales as a whole, showing how they illuminate Seneca’s interest in exploring the nature of education, friendship, and self-reform in the philosophical life.
