The essay analyses the position of physics as defined in Seneca’s Naturales quaestiones: the lore of the universe,
the theoretical serach for the ultimate cause, the serach for necessary truth. This intellectual, infiniti (at least
where humans are concerned) quest appears not only as a fulfillment of the human duty, but results necessary
for (and coextensive with) the acquisition of ethical stand so admired by the Stoics.
