El valor de la física para la sabiduría estoica: las _Naturales Quaestiones_ de Séneca

This paper aims to elucidate the contribution of physics to the realization of the Stoic ideal of wisdom. For this aim, I will focus specifically on the work Naturales Quaestiones by the Roman Stoic Seneca. I will show that in this work we can find four contributions of the study of nature for Stoic wisdom: (i) knowledge of divinity, (ii) moral progress, (iii) the correct use of natural resources and, (iv) the release from superstition. By examining these four contributions, I will show that, contrary to what some scholars have argued, physics maintains reciprocal relations of collaboration with the other two parts of philosophy: ethics and logic.
