Publisher Comments :

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves — and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives — and destroyed them.

Now, Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are. Penguin's Great Ideas series features twelve groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers, and each volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type — drive design that highlights the bookmaker's art. Offering great literature in great packages at great prices, this series is ideal for those readers who want to explore and savor the Great Ideas that have shaped the world.

The Stoic writings of the philosopher Seneca offer powerful insights into the art of living, the importance of reason and morality, and continue to provide profound guidance to many through their eloquence, lucidity and timeless wisdom.

About Author

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, statesman, philosopher, advocate and man of letters, was born at Cordoba in Spain around 4 BC. He rose to prominence in Rome, pursuing a career in the courts and political life, for which he had been trained, while also acquiring celebrity as an author of tragedies and essays. Falling foul of successive emperors (Caligula in AD 39 and Claudius in AD 41), he spent eight years in exile, allegedly for an affair with Caligula's sister. Recalled in AD 49, he was made praetor and was appointed tutor to the boy who was to become, in AD 54, the emperor Nero. On Nero's succession, Seneca acted for some eight years as an unofficial chief minister. The early part of this reign was remembered as a period of sound government, for which the main credit seems due to Seneca. His control over Nero declined as enemies turned the emperor against him with representations that his popularity made him a danger, or with accusations of immorality or excessive wealth. Retiring from public life he devoted his last three years to philosophy and writing, particularly the Letters to Lucilius. In AD 65 following the discovery of a plot against the emperor, in which he was thought to be implicated, he and many others were compelled by Nero to commit suicide. His fame as an essayist and dramatist lasted until two or three centuries ago, when he passed into literary oblivion, from which the twentieth century has seen a considerable recovery.

读后感

斯多葛派的哲学还是令人读起来这么愉快。也许是它更贴近生活的缘故,其中的好多话都令人感觉很在理。而它相对简单的语言又令人读起来并不费力。 从书中随便找几句话都可以当作生活箴言。而其中第一部分,“论生命之短暂”应该是三部分中写的最好的。读完之后,对如何看待过去,...

很不好意思地说,这本书买到手近两个月,我只看完了第一页,除了英文关这个不是理由的理由以外,另外一个唯一的原因,就是因为它是好书。   什么是好书?很简单,我觉得好书有两种,一种是读起来轻松简单明白酣畅淋漓不能自已,然后可以一口气读完那种。当然,这种以好的...

斯多葛派,诺斯替二元论倾向。从写给母亲的那封信里最能看出塞内加的真性情。信中所说恐怕并不都是他最真实的想法,有些明显是为了劝慰。这本书的译笔很好,对于这种议论文来说很重要。塞内加的长处是精湛的修辞和文笔、深刻的洞察力和充沛的才华、磅礴的气度与人格魅力,但思...

之前翻阅过几遍,带着急躁迫切的心情,以摘取人生真理之姿态,斟酌遣词造句之章法。文笔流畅,词采丰美,字字珠玑。对作者真是佩服的五体投地,恨不得把每句箴言背下作为人生准绳。 跟着作者一道鄙夷那些俗人,讥诮那些蠢人,憎恶那些恶人。也检查自身,提醒自己切勿沦为作者...
