Valéry Laurand, Ermanno Malaspina, François Prost (éds) Lectures plurielles du “De ira” de Sénèque. Interprétations, contextes, enjeux

This reviewed work fills a surprising gap in the investigation into Seneca's psychology. It is now clear to us, in detail, what path the philosopher has been developing with respect to a project that is philosophical, psychological and – at the same time – prophylactic/therapeutic. In fact, the de ira should be placed at the very moment in which the brilliant rhetorician understands that the philosophical-theoretical study becomes urgent and that this will allow him to imagine a paideutic project valid not only for his own august pupil (for whom he was preparing the series of tragedies with apotropaic intention) but also for future pupils of whom Lucilius will be the representative.
