Abstract

Having in mind the tragic character of the human condition, of which finitu-de and misfortunes are the most remarkable traits, Seneca will make use, inhis moral philosophy, of a strategy that is able to deal with our states of soulnamed states of perturbation. This being said, the objective of this paper isto examine in what does the Senequean therapy of cure of the affections ofthe   human   soul,   what   will   be   attempted   by   drawing   the   existent   relationbetween  some  aspects   of  his  anthropology   and  the  Stoic  scale   of  values.What is at stake here is that the aforementioned therapy consists in a stra-tegy of re-valuing, supported overall in the search for the meaning of thephenomena – and also in the habit of continuous meditation.
