内容简介
塞内加的《自然问题》,约作于公元六三年:他试图不借助诸神来解释天上与地上的种种现象。
背景与流传
书中论流星、闪电、河流、泉源、冰雹、洪水、地震与彗星。其价值不在结论——错的不少——而在意图与方法:塞内加主张,一种可怖的现象,一旦知其原因便不再可怖;研究自然,正是斯多亚学派医治恐惧的疗法之一。因此那些打断论述的道德旁白,其实才是目的所在。论彗星的一卷最为可观:他逆整个古代的公论而立言,说彗星是天体,各有自己的轨道,且终有一日人们会知道它们所循的规律。此英译本(克拉克与盖基译)的书名出自译者,不是塞内加的。
这是编辑性背景,不是可引用的来源:与作品本身的段落不同,这些说明无法在语料库中核对。
This book is intended primarily for English readers, to most of whom it will probably be at least new. Thomas Lodge, the well-known dramatist, published in 1614 a translation of the whole of Seneca’s prose works (except the _Apocolocyntosis_), but no English editor or commentator seems to have turned his attention to the _Quaestiones Naturales_, either before or since. Lodge’s translation, a folio volume of nearly a thousand pages, was probably very good for its day, but is now out of date. The Introduction is designed to give a setting to the translation, and to answer a few of the questions that would naturally occur to the mind of an intelligent reader who was not a classical scholar.…
