Description: Romanum otium: the Public Perspective of Inner Research According to Cicero and Seneca· Political commitment and its ethical dimension were very important in Greece and Rome. Philosophical schools also played a role: because of this, theoretical thinking and the interior space it requires gained importance. In different ways and in different but not opposite contexts, Cicero and Seneca developed an increasing cure for it. Otium allowed the affirmation of cultural expectations and, at the same time, references to traditional values that envisaged repercussions and transformations, crucial for the social history of the Western world.[Author]
