One of the central problems of Cicero's 'De officiis' is 'honestum' and its relation to 'utile'. It gains an expressive form of the question in Cicero's book III of 'De Officiis'. Are these concepts principally equal, or antinomic? Cicero holds that the conflict between them is only artificial. 'Humanitas' always has to be the priority; acting against it men destroy social chains as well as the morality.

The aim of the paper is to examine Seneca's self-portrait as depicted in his 'Letters to Lucilius'. The first part deals with the place of this collection of letters occupies in the context of ancient epistolary literature. It shows how it contributed to the introspective character of ancient philosophical prose. Introspection as a method of self-knowledge and self-creation is analyzed in the second part. The resulting vision of the identity of the author's Letters is neither unified, nor consistent: Seneca is presented as a 'man of many faces' in his life as well as in literature.
