About this listen

Seneca’s Naturales Quaestiones is more than ancient science—it’s Stoic philosophy turned toward the cosmos. In this episode, we explore how Seneca interrogates lightning, comets, and floods not just to explain them, but to draw ethical insight from them. Nature, for him, is a mirror for the soul and a stage for virtue.

Join us as we examine how Stoicism meets natural inquiry—and why, for Seneca, understanding the heavens was a moral pursuit.
