Resumo: | In the Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, written near the end of his life, Seneca frequently allies meditation on death – a theme that, as a Stoic, had always deserved his special attention – with reflections on the passage of time, the meaning of human existence, and the meaning of life in its different phases: childhood and youth, adulthood and old age. In this paper, I will study Seneca’s most significant portraits of aging and old age, and articulate them via the literary anthropology that characterizes the Epistulae and his other works in general. |

In the Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, written near the end of his life, Seneca frequently allies meditation on death – a theme that, as a Stoic, had always deserved his special attention – with reflections on the passage of time, the meaning of human existence, and the meaning of life in its different phases: childhood and youth, adulthood and old age. In this paper, I will study Seneca’s most significant portraits of aging and old age, and articulate them via the literary anthropology that characterizes the Epistulae and his other works in general. |
