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.

节选短评《致赫尔维亚 的告慰书》 —关于流放 为了给真正的迁徙以补偿,并忘掉由于流放所引发的其他不便,罗马最博学的人法罗认为,我们无论走到哪里,所面对的自然的秩序都是相同的,这一点足够补偿了。马库斯•布鲁特斯认为流放者自己的美德是随身携带的,这一点就...

罗马帝国分为三部分:罗马、行省和同盟国。塞内加出生在贝缇卡行省,现在的西班牙南部。迦太基人是这片土地的前任统治者,大名鼎鼎的汉尼拔家族就盘根于此。塞内加的故乡科尔多瓦城建立于公元前8世纪,和永恒之城罗马一样古老。公元前209年,这里易手于罗马共和国。虽然历经战...

2014.11.24 论生命之短暂 五分之四的篇幅写了各式庸庸碌碌活着的人,最后才大声疾呼,来学哲学吧!文章的核心是“惜时”,而且必须为自己惜时,而非为他人或其他琐事所累。从这一角度来说,是否从事哲学也并不重要,而关键在于“从心”。你真的知道自己想要什么吗?知道的话,...

两千年前的公务员为职业的通才大师之一,当时时代(古罗马)并无严谨的哲学,在古罗马人中间已经很不错了。 罗马人本就生性务实,缺乏浪漫,何况罗马人接受希腊文明和希腊文化的时候,希腊文化早已不是恩培多克勒、毕达哥拉斯、赫拉克利特了,也不是柏拉图、亚里士多德,而是第...

两千年前的心灵鸡汤…

第一篇完美解释了为什么熙熙攘攘的人群让我感到窒息。我不认为那些人里的大部分清楚自己到底在做什么。为什么大家愿意买不值那个价钱的高层“洋房”挤在一个地方,然后告诉自己愿意选择漂下去?
