The Cosmic Viewpoint examines the literary and philosophical qualities essential to Seneca's art of science in his Natural Questions. Seneca's meteorological theme raises our gaze from a terrestrial level to a higher, more intuitive plane--a conceptual climb by which Seneca promotes a change of perspective in his readership towards the cosmic viewpoint.
