This new collection of essays by well-known scholars of Seneca
focuses on the multifaceted ways in which Seneca, as philosopher,
politician, poet and Roman senator, engaged with the question of
ethical selfhood. The contributors explore the main cruces of
Senecan scholarship, such as whether Seneca's treatment of the self
is original in its historical context; whether Seneca's Stoicism
can be reconciled with the pull of rhetorical and literary
self-expression; and how Seneca claims to teach psychic
self-integration. Most importantly, the contributors debate to what
degree, if at all, the absence of a technically articulated concept
of selfhood should cause us to hesitate in seeking a distinctively
Senecan self - one that stands out not only for the 'intensity of
its relations to self', as Foucault famously put it, but also for
the way in which those relations to self are couched.
