About this listen

"Que philosopher c'est apprendre à mourir". Emprunté à Cicéron, ce titre célèbre de l'un des essais de Michel de Montaigne résume l'enseignement attendu du stoïcisme - l'école philosophique dont Sénèque, homme d'Etat et écrivain latin (4 av. J.-C.-65), fut l'un des plus éminents représentants. Pourtant son petit traité De la brièveté de la vie n'a rien de tragique, et s'il nous invite à méditer sur l'imminence de la mort, c'est bien plutôt pour nous apprendre à vivre. Vivre véritablement, c'est-à-dire en philosophe.

Jean-Pierre Cassel fait plus ici qu'interpréter le texte : il incarne à proprement parler Sénèque. L'acteur fait siens le souffle et la chair du philosophe et sa seule voix, sereine et ferme, donne à entendre la pratique philosophique stoïcienne dans une interprétation sobre et délicate."© Frémeaux et Associés 2004
