Previous issue date: 2016-03-11 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The dissertation undertakes an analysis of the philosophical aspects of the Letters to Lucilius by Lucio Aneu Seneca, Stoic philosopher and Roman politician born in 4 BC. It seeks to investigate, from his work, his understanding regarding life and its finiteness in death. Although his work is extensive, this work will be limited to the Letters wherein the concept of death is more widely dealt with and didactically explained. In the first chapter, the foundations fundamentals of stoic philosophy are explained, which begins in ancient Stoicism through middle stoicism until Roman stoicism, period in which our philosopher is inserted. Thenceforth it deals with the understanding of his life and work in order to comprehend what it means, for Seneca, a good death and how meditating about death assists on the effort to understand it. Throughout this work it is discussed with some interpreters of Seneca's stoicism, with particular focus on the Letters to Lucilius. Finally, after bringing clarity to the above issue, the work seeks to note the resemblance between his thoughts and the theme today / The dissertation undertakes an analysis of the philosophical aspects of the Letters to Lucilius by Lucio Aneu Seneca, Stoic philosopher and Roman politician born in 4 BC.

Busca-se investigar, a partir de sua obra, seu entendimento a respeito da vida e da finitude na morte. Apesar de sua obra ser extensa, esta dissertação se limitará às Cartas em que o conceito de morte é mais amplamente tratado e didaticamente explicado.
Em um primeiro capítulo, explicitam-se os fundamentos da filosofia estoica, que inicia no estoicismo antigo, passa pelo médio estoicismo até chegar ao estoicismo romano, período em que nosso filósofo está inserido. Passa-se então ao entendimento de sua vida e obra com o objetivo de entender o que é, para Sêneca, a boa morte, e em que medida o meditar sobre a morte auxilia em tal intento. Dialoga-se com alguns intérpretes do estoicismo senequiano ao longo do trabalho, sobretudo no enfoque das Cartas a Lucílio. Ao final, ao clarificar a questão, busca-se aproximar o seu pensamento com a atualidade do tema
