The Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca (4 BCE-65 CE) recorded
his moral philosophy and reflections on life as a highly original
kind of correspondence. Letters on Ethics includes vivid
descriptions of town and country life in Nero's Italy, discussions
of poetry and oratory, and philosophical training for Seneca's
friend Lucilius. This volume, the first complete English
translation in nearly a century, makes the Letters more accessible
than ever before. Written as much for a general audience as for
Lucilius, these engaging letters offer advice on how to deal with
everything from nosy neighbors to sickness, pain, and death. Seneca
uses the informal format of the letter to present the central ideas
of Stoicism, for centuries the most influential philosophical
system in the Mediterranean world. His lively and at times humorous
expositions have made the Letters his most popular work and an
enduring classic. Including an introduction and explanatory notes
by Margaret Graver and A. A. Long, this authoritative edition will
captivate a new generation of readers.
