In ancient Rome, Seneca the Younger rose to power as a politician and statesman during the middle of his life. Seneca was noted in his time for his oratorical skill in the Roman Senate, a skill which drew the ire of Emperor Caligula, who wished him dead. Later accused of adultery with Caligula's sister, Seneca would find himself exiled during the rule Emperor Claudius in 41 AD. After several years of exile Seneca was finally welcomed back to Rome as Nero's minister. A wealthy man in his lifetime, Seneca despised his own standing because of his personal philosophy. Regarded as one of the most important philosophical figures of the Roman Imperial period, Seneca will forever be remembered as one of the most important philosophers of the Stoic philosophical movement. Stoicism is a philosophy that emphasizes logic and reason, fairness and justness towards others, and a calming of passions regarding one's desires and fears. In this collection of dialogues and essays we find an excellent introduction to Seneca's philosophical views. Contained here are expositions on providence, wisdom, anger, consolation, living a happy contented life, clemency, and earthquakes. The dialogues and essays collected here follow the translations of Aubrey Stewart and John Clarke. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

A major writer and a leading figure in the public life of Rome, Seneca (c. 4BC-AD 65) ranks among the most eloquent and influential masters of Latin prose. This selection explores his thoughts on philosophy and the trials of life. In the Consolation to Helvia he strives to offer solace to his mother, following his exile in AD 41, while On the Shortness of Life and On Tranquillity of Mind are lucid and compelling explorations of Stoic thought. Witty and self-critical, the Letters - written to his young friend Lucilius - explore Seneca's struggle to acquire philosophical wisdom. A fascinating insight into one of the greatest minds of Ancient Rome, these works inspired writers and thinkers including Montaigne, Rousseau, and Bacon, and continue to intrigue and enlighten.

This new translation of Plutarch's miscellaneous works, the Moralia, illuminates his thinking on religious, ethical, social, and political issues. Two genres are represented: the dialogue, which Plutarch wrote in a tradition nearer to Cicero than to Plato, and the informal treatise or essay, in which his personality is most clearly displayed. His diffuse and individual style conveys a character of great charm and authority. This edition includes an introduction, notes, sources of quotations, and a glossary of proper names.
