Abstract

This article analyzes the stoic formative notion that Seneca grants to reading and its reception and influence in Montaigne and Nietzsche, particularly the reflexive and leisurely reading as a useful instrument for the conformation of thought and knowledge. Seneca is recognized as an influential intellectual in modernity and highlights his influence on the conception of reading and truth in the French and German intellectual circle, specifically in the authors noted.
