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.

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...
評分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,...
評分读这本书全是因为“塞内加”这个名字,封面上“伟大的思想”这五个字就足够令人好奇,可是内容却并不像封面所示那样“伟大”。也许是因为个人更喜欢严谨考据的学术专著吧,所以对于这种“用举例和比喻来述说观点”的散文书信不太感冒。 塞内加的思想处处矛盾,他对友人和亲人的...
