Analysis reveals a new interpretation of Seneca's letters, suggesting continuous dynamics in mastering oneself.
In the present text I attempt a critical reading of Dana Jalobeanu's book The Spectacle of Philosophy. How do We Read the Letters of Seneca?. It seems to me that Dana Jalobeanu is proposing a key concept to advance a new (if something new is still possible after two millenniums of reading the letters of Seneca) interpretation. To my mind, the ongoing dynamics of mastering oneself qualifies or, better yet, fulfils the role.
