# De ira treats anger as a public ethical pathology

Date: 41

## The fact

[Seneca](/people/seneca)’s De ira, three books on anger, belongs to the earlier philosophical file around the 40s. The dated ethics book is not the Corsican exile instrument and not the later Epistles. Seneca the Younger’s documented role is: He wrote three books on anger, often dated to the 40s. Later Loeb is access; exact year is conventional; the treatise is his. Do not twin this with the 41 exile. A treatise on anger is not the banishment. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Seneca the Younger's documented role is: He wrote three books on anger, often dated to the 40s. Later Loeb is access; exact year is conventional; the treatise is his.

The instrument stays De ira treats anger as a public ethical pathology. The setting of De ira treats anger as a public ethical pathology is the public file around 0041-06-01.
