A vivid new translation in which the Stoic philosopher argues that virtue is the only path to contentment Why are so many people unhappy when happiness can be attained by anyone who simply lives virtuously? That question prompted Seneca, the great Stoic philosopher of the early Roman Empire, to...

Seneca három Vigasztalása , consolációja az ókori vigasztalásirodalom legérettebb alkotása. Az első egy asszonyhoz szól, aki elvesztette fiát, a második az író egy barátjához, aki testvérét siratja, a harmadikat pedig édesanyjához írta Seneca korzikai száműzetéséből. E műfaj elméletét Ciceró foglalta össze tömören: a vigasztalás első eszköze bebizonyítani, hogy nincs rossz, s ha van, nem jelentékeny; a második, rámutatni, hogy minden bánat és gyász az élet törvénye; a harmadik, bebizonyítani, hogy értelmetlen elemészteni magunkat a bánatban, holott világosan tudjuk, hogy nincs ellene orvosság.

The Tao of Seneca (volumes 1-3) is an introduction to Stoic philosophy through the words of Seneca. If you study Seneca, you'll be in good company. He was popular with the educated elite of the Greco-Roman Empire, but Thomas Jefferson also had Seneca on his bedside table. Thought leaders in Silicon Valley tout the benefits of Stoicism, and NFL management, coaches, and players alike - from teams such as the Patriots and Seahawks - have embraced it.

Senecas "Von der Kürze des Lebens", verfasst im 1. Jahrhundert nach Christus, ist eine eindringliche Reflexion über die Art und Weise, wie wir unsere Lebenszeit nutzen–oder verschwenden. Seneca mahnt uns, nicht der Illusion zu erliegen, das Leben sei zu kurz. Ganz im Gegenteil: Wir vergeuden es mit Nebensächlichkeiten, Ablenkungen und falschen Prioritäten.

Most people see us on Sundays with a microphone and a smile. They don't see the Monday morning doubts, the Tuesday staff-meeting burnout, or the Friday night prayers for our own messy lives. Umbrella of Mercy is an unfiltered look at faith from the people who work behind the scenes of the Church. No scripts, no "pastor voices"—just honest conversations about the beautiful, frustrating, and holy reality of following Jesus when it's also your job.

This is the second volume of the Letters, Epistles LXVI-XCII. Among the personalities of the early Roman Empire there are few who offer to the readers of to-day such dramatic interest as does Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the author of the Epistles. These letters, written by Seneca towards the end of his life, are all addressed to his friend Lucilius, who, at the time when these letters were written, was a procurator in Sicily. The form of this work, as Bacon says, is a collection of essays rather than of letters. Summary paraphrased from the Introduction in Volume 1 by Suprad.

As chief advisor to the emperor Nero, Lucius Annaeus Seneca was most influential in ancient Rome as a power behind the throne. His lasting fame derives from his writings on Stoic ideology, in which philosophy is a practical form of self-improvement rather than a matter of argument or wordplay. Seneca's letters to a young friend advise action rather than reflection, addressing the issues that confront every generation: how to achieve a good life; how to avoid corruption and self-indulgence; and how to live without fear of death.

"It takes an entire lifetime to learn how to die", wrote the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC-65 AD). He counseled readers to "study death always", and took his own advice, returning to the subject again and again in all his writings, yet he never treated it in a complete work. How to Die gathers in one volume, for the first time, Seneca's remarkable meditations on death and dying. Edited and translated by James S. Romm, How to Die reveals a provocative thinker who speaks with a startling frankness about the need to accept death or even, under certain conditions, to seek it out.

Why do we complain of Nature? She has shown herself kindly; life, if you know how to use it, is long. But one man is possessed by an avarice that is insatiable, another by a toilsome devotion to tasks that are useless; one man is besotted with wine, another is paralyzed by sloth; one man is exhausted by an ambition that always hangs upon the decision of others, another, driven on by the greed of the trader, is led over all lands and all seas by the hope of gain; some are tormented by a passion for war and are always either bent upon inflicting danger upon others.

È il decimo dei "Dialoghi" di Seneca, dedicato al suocero Pompeo Paolino, che aveva in quel momento l'importante incarico di prefetto dell'annona, cioè di raccolta e distribuzione del grano nell'Urbe. E proprio all'amico, oltre che parente, Seneca dà il consiglio di ritirarsi a vita privata, tralasciando ogni attività pubblica. Assumendo cioè un atteggiamento filosofico apparentemente epicureo, nonostante lo stesso Seneca fosse un esponente importante dello stoicismo romano.

On the Shortness of Life: A new modern translationIs life truly short, or do we simply squander it? In this essential treatise, Seneca argues that nature is generous, yet we are wasteful. While we jealously guard our money, we carelessly give away our most precious asset: time. Through incisive prose, the Stoic philosopher critiques those who live "busy" with trivialities, postponing happiness for a retirement that may never arrive.
