Stoic philosopher and tutor to the young emperor Nero, Seneca wrote moral
dialogues – exercises in practical philosophy – on how to live in a troubled world. These essays are strikingly applicable today, as Seneca ranges widely across subjects such as the shortness of life, tranquility of mind, anger, mercy, happiness, and grief at the loss of a loved one.
This superb volume offers the finest translation of Seneca’s dialogues and essays, capturing the full range of his philosophical interests.
Seneca’s accessible, aphoristic style makes his writing especially attractive as an introduction to Stoic philosophy, and belies its reputation for austerity and dogmatism.
