Riassunto

The writings of Seneca have continued to influence readers throughout the ages. Seneca was a powerful ruler and his writings show him to be dedicated to Stoicism. These writings and stoic positions are brought to life and issues like pleasure, desire, happiness and contentment, anger, fear, courage, love and trust are discussed. Forstater brings to light the contradictions of Seneca with his own interpretation of the philosopher.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Mark Forstater is a producer of films and television documentaries. His most famous production is Monty Python and The Holy Grail. An American, he lives and works in London. He is married with three daughters.
Lucius Anneus Seneca (1-65 CE) was famous and powerful in his own time, tutor to Emperor Nero, leader of the Roman Senate, and one of two men who virtually ran the Roman Empire. His Stoic philosophy, therefore, was rigorously realistic, worldly and down-to-earth.
