立场

Seneca’s letters and essays are the largest surviving body of Roman Stoic writing. In letters and essays he applies Stoic doctrine to everyday life: how to deal with anger, grief, the shortness of time and the fear of death. Only virtue is good; external goods like wealth and reputation can be lost at any moment, so true freedom lies in our attitude towards what happens. Philosophy is a practice of daily self-examination, a therapy of the soul. His vivid, personal style made him a favourite of Christian writers, of Montaigne and of the early modern moralists – although his wealth and his service to Nero drew charges of hypocrisy even in his lifetime.

生平与背景

Lucius Annaeus Seneca was born in Córdoba in Spain and made a career in Rome as an orator, writer and politician. Exiled to Corsica under Claudius, he was recalled to become tutor and later adviser to the young Nero. After withdrawing from court he was accused of involvement in the Pisonian conspiracy and forced to take his own life in 65 CE.
