Seneca, reader of Epicurus. A reading of Epp. 1-29 in the light of Ep. 33

Nuestro análisis muestra cómo las operaciones de lectura que el ego epistolar realiza sobre ellas termina por despojarlas de su identidad filosófica. Leer las primeras cartas a la luz de la Ep. 33 permite ver que no es en el terreno de la discusión filosófica donde se dirime la rivalidad con Epicuro sino en el de la lectura, ya que lo que el ego epistolar busca es construir un modelo de lector para hacerlo extensivo a su epistolario.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/3958 10.34096/afc.v2i28.3958 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/3958/3531 Anales de Filología Clásica; Vol. 2 Núm. 28 (2015); 77-88 2362-4841 0325-1721 Seneca Epistulae Epicurus model reading Séneca Epistulae Epicuro modelo lectura Seneca, reader of Epicurus.
