Seneca stands apart from other philosophers of Greece and Rome not
only for his interest in practical ethics, but also for the beauty
and liveliness of his writing. These twelve in-depth essays take up
a series of interrelated topics in his works, from his relation to
Stoicism, Epicureanism, and other schools of thought; to the
psychology of emotion and action and the management of anger and
grief; to letter-writing, gift-giving, friendship, and kindness; to
Seneca's innovative use of genre, style, and humor. Recalling
Socrates's critique of philosophical writing in Plato's Phaedrus,
this volume gives particular attention to Seneca's ideas about the
techniques of reading, writing, and study that make philosophy
beneficial to the individual and to society. Clear explanations and
careful translations make the volume accessible to a wide range of
readers.
