The Sublime Seneca - Ethics, Literature, Metaphysics (Hardcover)

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.
Moving from the Letters to the Natural Questions and Dialogues,
Professor Gunderson explores how authorship works at the level both
of the work and of the world, the ethics of seeing, and the
question of how one can give up on the here and now and behold
instead some other, better ethical sphere. Seneca's tragedies offer
words of caution: desire might well subvert reason at its most
profound level (Phaedra), or humanity's painful separation from the
sublime might be part of some cruel divine plan (The Madness of
Hercules). The book concludes by considering what, if anything, we
are to make of Seneca's efforts to enlighten us.
