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.
