En su antigua condición de tutor y consejero del emperador Nerón, el filósofo y hombre de Estado Séneca era tremendamente consciente de la brevedad de la vida, la suya propia se vio truncada cuando el emperador le ordenó que se suicidara, por su presunta implicación en una conspiración. Y Séneca demostró ser consecuente con lo que predicaba, y el compromiso a lo largo de toda su vida con el estoicismo le permitió conducirse con dignidad hasta el final.

Raadpleeg het keizerlijk hof onder Caligula en leermeester van Nero, Seneca speelt een belangrijke rol in het adviseren van de laatste voordat ze in diskrediet gebracht en tot zelfmoord gedreven.

On Clemency is a two volume (incomplete) hortatory essay written in 55-56 CE by Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher, to the emperor Nero in the first five years of his reign. From Seneca's remarks, it would appear that it was written after Nero had turned 18, which would place it after the murder of his rival Britannicus in 55 AD. It may therefore have been written partly as an apology, perhaps as a means of assuring the Roman nobility that the murder would be the end, not the beginning of bloodshed.

Though many of us might answer "yes" to that question, attracting more joy into our lives is not always easy - life and stress can seem to hinder our well-being, despite our best efforts. What’s worse, studies have shown that pressuring yourself to feel happy and upbeat when you feel down can actually take a toll on us psychologically! So, where do you begin? The solution lies in understanding the innate psychological forces that conspire against us.

The full title of Seneca’s work Of Providence is "Why do misfortunes happen to good men, if providence exists?". The longer title reflects the essay’s theme which is more concerned with theodicy and the question of why bad things happen to good people, rather than with providence. The essay is written as a dialogue in six brief sections, opened by Lucilius complaining to his friend Seneca that misfortunes befall to good people too. How does this fit with the goodness associated with the design of providence?

Of Leisure only survives in a fragmentary state. The work concerns the rational use of spare time, whereby one can still actively aid humankind by engaging in wider questions about nature and the universe. The text begins mid-sentence, and ends rather abruptly. In the Codex Ambrosianus (the main source for Seneca's essays) it is simply tacked onto the end of De Vita Beata suggesting a scribe missed a page or two.

In On the Firmness of the Wise Man Seneca argues that Stoicism is not as harsh as it first appears. Recalling the figure of Cato the Younger, Seneca argues that Cato as a wise person suffered neither injury nor insult. Although Serenus objects to this paradox, Seneca provides further analogies to emphasize the impervious nature of the wise person. In chapter 5 Seneca distinguishes between contumelia (insults) and iniuria (injuries).

"El tiempo que tenemos no es corto; pero perdiendo mucho de él, hacemos que lo sea, y la vida es suficiente- mente larga para ejecutar en ella cosas grandes, si la empleáremos bien."... "La brevedad de la vida" es un tratado filosófico a la vez fundamental y moderno sobre nuestra relación con el tiempo.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca war ein römischer Philosoph, Staatsmann und Dramatiker. Er zählt zu den wichtigsten Vertretern der Stoa, nebst Marc Aurel, Cicero und Epiktet. Primär befasste er sich mit den Fragen der rechten Lebensführung. Es sei eine Pflicht, jedem Menschen Gutes zu tun. Armut sei keine Pflicht des Weisen, solange der Reichtum ehrlich verdient und überlegt eingesetzt werde. Er sah sich selbst aber nicht als vollkommenen Weisen: "Ich preise das Leben, nicht wie ich es führe, sondern wie ich weiß, dass es geführt werden muss."

Der Alltag, der Erfolg, der Beruf, die Familie, die Liebe, die Sexualität, kurz das Leben, scheint das Schwierigste auf der Welt zu sein. Warum sonst erscheinen diese unzähligen Ratgeber, die für alle Lebenslagen Hilfe anbieten und in allen Medien präsent sind. Dabei könnte alles so einfach sein. Seneca wusste schon vor 2000 Jahren so viel über den Menschen und die Gesellschaft, dass die Lektüre seiner Schriften die meisten Ratgeber überflüssig macht...

Die Kürze des Lebens: Wir haben nicht zu wenig Zeit - wir vergeuden zu viel. Das Leben ist lang, wir selbst machen es kurz, indem wir es achtlos dahinfließen lassen. Das ist die grundlegende Einsicht des großen Stoikers Lucius Annaeus Seneca. "Du verteidigst Deinen Reichtum, aber Du vergeudest Dein Leben!", "Du lebst, als wärst Du ewig da!", "Schämst Du dich nicht, Dein Leben in die Zukunft hinauszuschieben, statt es jetzt zu leben!"

Il filosofo romano scrive all'amico Lucillo, e gli racconta l'animo umano. Le sue caratteristiche, i suoi vizi e le sue virtù. Come un esploratore dei sentimenti più intimi, e un gran conoscitore delle numerose sfaccettature che compongono i pensieri e i comportamenti degli esseri umani, Seneca indica una via possibile per vivere in armonia con se stessi e con gli altri, attraverso la riscoperta della consapevolezza di quello che davvero conta.

Composto da Seneca nel 58 dopo Cristo, quando il filosofo aveva 54 anni, De Vita Beata, è un dialogo dedicato al fratello Gallione. Il tema, così importante, ed esplorato anche da altri filosofi dell'epoca, è quello della felicità. Cos'è la felicità? Come si arriva ad essere felici? E la ricchezza quanto conta? Queste le domande fondamentali attorno alle quali è costruita la narrazione, e la soluzione.

Auf der Suche nach einem glücklichen Leben ist der Mensch seit jeher. Was Glück bedeutet, das hat sich allerdings geändert und ist auch heute so unterschiedlich wie die Lebenswelten der Menschen. Läßt sich vor diesem Hintergrund überhaupt sinnvoll von dem Glück reden, lassen sich Regeln und Maximen aufstellen, die zu einem gelingenden, einem glücklichen Leben führen? Seneca sagt: Ja, das ist möglich. Er setzt dafür bei dem an, was den Menschen zum Menschen macht: bei der Vernunft.
