Excerpt from Selected Essays of Seneca: And the Satire on the Deification of Claudius Seneca became an authority upon superstitions - at least to the extent of writing a book about them - and he had no disposition to be thought a prey to one. The act was characteristic in its reconciliation of a philosophic breadth of mind with the regard for appearances and other practical considerations that are essential to getting on in the world. In another letter he remarks, apropos of his own manner of life, tamquam in conspectu vivamus, - let us live without any necessity for concealment, - which is an honorable sentiment, but not based upon a perfectly ideal independence of the opinions of surrounding humanity, to which indeed even more consistent Stoics than Seneca rarely attained. Later in this same letter he describes among his frugal habits his simple luncheon, consisting of such kinds of food, as he oddly relates, that he does not have to wash his hands after it; he takes but little exercise, he says, for after a slight exertion he finds himself tired; he sleeps very little, as little as possible, in fact; and presently he goes on to say, fremitum patientissime fero. He seems to have conscientiously cultivated the practice of mental concentration, so that he could apply his mind to his work, as he tells Lucilius, undisturbed by distracting sounds around him. In Epistle 56 we find him explaining how he managed to study composedly while staying in very noisy lodgings over a public bath at a watering place. These are the remarks of Seneca's old age, but they undoubtedly indicate an interest in mental and moral experiment that went with him through life, along with the external incidents and allurements of an active career.

'You ask what is the proper measure of wealth? The best measure is to have what is necessary, and next best, to have enough. Keep well!' The letters written by the Stoic philosopher and tragedian Seneca to his friend Lucilius are in effect moral essays, whose purpose is to reinforce Lucilius' struggle to achieve wisdom and serenity, uninfluenced by worldly emotions. Seneca advises his friend on how to do without what is superfluous, whether on the subject of happiness, riches, reputation, or the emotions. The letters include literary critical discussions, moral exhortation, exemplary heroes and episodes from Roman history, and a lurid picture of contemporary luxury. We learn about Seneca's household and estates and about life in the time of Nero; the topic of death is never far away. This readable new translation is the largest selection of Seneca's letters currently available. Accompanied by an invaluable introduction and notes, it opens a window on to Seneca's world. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

This volume offers clear and forceful contemporary translations of the most important of Seneca's 'Moral Essays': On Anger, On Mercy, On the Private Life and the first four books of On Favours. They give an attractive, full picture of the social and moral outlook of an ancient Stoic thinker intimately involved in the governance of the Roman empire in the mid first century of the Christian era. A general introduction describes Seneca's life and career and explains the fundamental ideas underlying the Stoic moral, social and political philosophy that informs the essays. Individual introductions, footnotes and biographical notes place the essays in their historical and philosophical contexts, and further assistance to students is provided by section headings in the translations which organize the principal transitions in the argument and the more unfamiliar aspects of Seneca's writing.
