About the Book

English summary: Seneca followed Stoic orthodoxy by repeatedly asserting that physical integrity, as of no interest to the moral, should not be an object of attention. However, at the same time he also composed a work largely devoted to physical suffering. Through an examination of the theories and representations of physical distress in the Seneca's philosophical works, this book resolves this apparent paradox and determines the functions of its use. French description: Seneque respecte scrupuleusement l'orthodoxie stoicienne en affirmant ... plusieurs reprises que l'integrite physique, en tant qu'indifferent moral, ne doit en aucun cas etre un objet d'attention. Toutefois, parallelement ... ces considerations, il compose une oeuvre dans laquelle la souffrance physique occupe une place considerable. La presente etude, ... travers l'examen des theories et des representations du dolor physique dans l'oeuvre philosophique de Seneque, se propose de resoudre ce paradoxe apparent, et de determiner precisement les fonctions d'un tel emploi. Apres avoir defini la notion de dolor physique, elle demontre l'omnipresence du motif du corps souffrant et en degage les raisons contextuelles. Elle envisage en outre la dimension medicale des representations de la souffrance, afin de definir le niveau des connaissances techniques du philosophe et l'origine des theories pathologiques et therapeutiques qui affleurent dans son oeuvre. Enfin, elle examine le dolor physique au sein de la pensee philosophique de Seneque afin de demontrer que le dolor possede une fonction ethique de premier ordre, aussi bien d'un point de vue theorique que pratique.
