A filosofia estóica é bastante conhecida pelo fato de subjugar a lógica, e mesmo a física, à moral: como o próprio Sêneca apregoa, nada teria valor se não pudesse ser utilizado na vida prática. E, justamente no âmbito dessa, tais categorias são desenvolvidas nos escritos do estóico. Dessa forma, à primeira vista, tende-se a considerar que, para o filósofo, a sabedoria estaria subordinada à virtude. A pesquisa que realizamos dividiu-se em três etapas: a seleção e tradução de epístolas senequianas que expusessem sua concepção daqueles dois conceitos; a elaboração de notas explicativas; um estudo introdutório acerca da relação entre o ser sábio e a virtude, no contexto em que o filósofo se insere / Abstract: The concepts of sapientia and uirtus in Seneca (4 b.C. ¿ 65 a. C.) permeates a great part of his works, seeing that, sometimes, they are strongly linked: it seems to be difficult to think about an assumed relation of subordination between the subjects of wisdom and virtue in themselves; nevertheless, the form both get conjugated in this author¿s works incites us to question if the man¿s final goal is virtue through wisdom or wisdom through virtue. The stoic philosophy is well known by the fact of subjudging the logic and even physics to ethics: as Seneca himself proclaims, it would be useless if it could not be used in daily life. And, precisely on its ambit, these categories are developed on the author¿s writings. Therefore, at first sight, it tends to consider that, for the philosopher, wisdom would be subordinated to virtue. Our research was divided into three steps: selection and translation of Seneca¿s epistles that expose his conceivings about the two concepts; elaboration of explicative notes and an introductory study about the relation between being a wise man and the virtue, in a context where the philosopher inserts himself / Mestrado / Mestre em Linguística

This dissertation endeavors to address a gap in current academic discourse by initiating a dialogue on existential/ontological virtues and the establishment of a virtue ontology. Despite the enrichment of virtue theory through the lens of virtue ethics and virtue epistemology, as well as the scrutiny of ethical and intellectual virtues within ethical and epistemological paradigms, there remains little said about existential/ontological virtues. Moreover, while moral and epistemic excellence have been extensively researched, the exploration of ontological/existential excellence has not.To address this gap, I propose initiating a discourse centered on existential virtues. These virtues, when cultivated, enhance our ability to appreciate life and exist “more.” I thus investigate the concept of experiencing varying degrees of existence, influenced by one’s existential stance, which illuminates states of life as varied as near-death to those characterized by profound fulfillment and vitality. Existential virtues, or “virtues of the heart,” enhance our engagement with Being, the self, and others. A central inquiry of this study concerns the influence of individuals’ metaphysical beliefs on their vitality. I also consider whether existential virtues can be nurtured through a cognitive shift in one’s perception of ontological reality. To this purpose, I analyze three philosophical perspectives—Stoicism, Sufism, and Neuroexistentialism—and elucidate the resulting attitudes of Stoic Serene Acceptance, Sufi Ecstatic Love, and Neuroexistential Angst. An overarching objective of this study is to examine how differing ontological perspectives shape the cultivation of existential virtues and influence one’s art of living. To illustrate this interplay, I conduct an analysis of Sufism, highlighting the corresponding existential virtues of existential joy, existential self-worth, and existential reverence within the ontological domains of Being, the self, and others. This study advocates for an expansion of scholarly inquiry into existential virtues, fostering a discourse on virtue ontology that would bridge ethics and ontology. Through an exploration of existential virtues as the foundation for a virtue ontology, this dissertation aims to deepen our understanding of virtuous human existence and the potential for existential excellence. Ultimately, it seeks to illuminate pathways toward a more inspired mode of existence and the possibility of a progression through varying degrees of being.
