Stoische Doktrin in Romischer Belletristik Das Problem Von Entscheidungsfreiheit Und Determinismus in Senecas Tragodien Und Lucans Pharsalia

This study contests the widespread view that Seneca's tragedies and Lucan's epic on the civil war express their authors' disappointment at the failure of Stoic doctrine to provide convincing answers to the problems of evil in human behaviour or the inescapable blows of Fate. The works of both writers, parallel in treatment, aim at the representation in literature of the tensions between human free-will and determinism.Wiener, Claudia is the author of 'Stoische Doktrin in Romischer Belletristik Das Problem Von Entscheidungsfreiheit Und Determinismus in Senecas Tragodien Und Lucans Pharsalia', published 2006 under ISBN 9783598778384 and ISBN 3598778384.
