About this listen

In Seneca's Letter 121, he explores the concept of instinct in animals. He argues that animals possess a natural, innate knowledge that guides their actions and behavior. Seneca believes that this instinctive knowledge is not limited to survival instincts, but also extends to more complex behaviors. He observes that animals are capable of learning, adapting, and even displaying emotions, suggesting that their instinct is not solely driven by biological factors. Seneca's letter emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of recognizing the intelligence and wisdom present in the animal kingdom.
