This second aspect of the author's discourse includes an original consideration of the role of animals which appears to echo Sextian-Pythagorean views, but is organically integrated into the framework of Stoic cosmology. James Romm Dying Every Day: Seneca at the Court of Nero Kindle Edition by James S. As I try to show in this paper, Seneca's paraenetic argument succeeds in combining a peculiarly Stoic concern for the respect of human dignity with a more general defense of the natural order. Given the presence of such a man-centered context, scholars have often overlooked the writer's explicit reference to the moral status of animals, although other meaningful details than the simple mention of a 'ius animantium' point out the importance of this matter to our passage. On the whole, however, the passage seems to aim at maintaining the inviolability of human rights, paying special attention to the pitiful condition of slaves. In Seneca's words, there would be a common right of living beings forbidding to perpetrate certain acts of violence. This is the only passage in which the Latin philosopher employs the juridically and philosophically significant expression 'commune ius animantium', thus referring to a form of nature-based 'animal right'. The present paper focuses on an intriguing passage of Seneca's treatise 'On Clemency' (De Clementia) dealing with the topic of human and animal rights (1.18.1-2). “What if life could be this way? Only the happy parts, none of the terrible, not even the mildly unpleasant. A lot of people had warned me about this book, that it was going to make me super sad. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself-a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all. When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him. Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. |
