Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves — and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives — and destroyed them.
Now, Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are. Penguin's Great Ideas series features twelve groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers, and each volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type — drive design that highlights the bookmaker's art. Offering great literature in great packages at great prices, this series is ideal for those readers who want to explore and savor the Great Ideas that have shaped the world.
The Stoic writings of the philosopher Seneca offer powerful insights into the art of living, the importance of reason and morality, and continue to provide profound guidance to many through their eloquence, lucidity and timeless wisdom.
About Author
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, statesman, philosopher, advocate and man of letters, was born at Cordoba in Spain around 4 BC. He rose to prominence in Rome, pursuing a career in the courts and political life, for which he had been trained, while also acquiring celebrity as an author of tragedies and essays. Falling foul of successive emperors (Caligula in AD 39 and Claudius in AD 41), he spent eight years in exile, allegedly for an affair with Caligula's sister. Recalled in AD 49, he was made praetor and was appointed tutor to the boy who was to become, in AD 54, the emperor Nero. On Nero's succession, Seneca acted for some eight years as an unofficial chief minister. The early part of this reign was remembered as a period of sound government, for which the main credit seems due to Seneca. His control over Nero declined as enemies turned the emperor against him with representations that his popularity made him a danger, or with accusations of immorality or excessive wealth. Retiring from public life he devoted his last three years to philosophy and writing, particularly the Letters to Lucilius. In AD 65 following the discovery of a plot against the emperor, in which he was thought to be implicated, he and many others were compelled by Nero to commit suicide. His fame as an essayist and dramatist lasted until two or three centuries ago, when he passed into literary oblivion, from which the twentieth century has seen a considerable recovery.

評分雞湯嗎。。
評分Essays on life, adversity and tranquility. Always necessary to know how to maintain a peaceful state of mind.
評分第一篇完美解釋瞭為什麼熙熙攘攘的人群讓我感到窒息。我不認為那些人裏的大部分清楚自己到底在做什麼。為什麼大傢願意買不值那個價錢的高層“洋房”擠在一個地方,然後告訴自己願意選擇漂下去?
读这本书全是因为“塞内加”这个名字,封面上“伟大的思想”这五个字就足够令人好奇,可是内容却并不像封面所示那样“伟大”。也许是因为个人更喜欢严谨考据的学术专著吧,所以对于这种“用举例和比喻来述说观点”的散文书信不太感冒。 塞内加的思想处处矛盾,他对友人和亲人的...

評分很不好意思地说,这本书买到手近两个月,我只看完了第一页,除了英文关这个不是理由的理由以外,另外一个唯一的原因,就是因为它是好书。 什么是好书?很简单,我觉得好书有两种,一种是读起来轻松简单明白酣畅淋漓不能自已,然后可以一口气读完那种。当然,这种以好的...
評分斯多葛派,诺斯替二元论倾向。从写给母亲的那封信里最能看出塞内加的真性情。信中所说恐怕并不都是他最真实的想法,有些明显是为了劝慰。这本书的译笔很好,对于这种议论文来说很重要。塞内加的长处是精湛的修辞和文笔、深刻的洞察力和充沛的才华、磅礴的气度与人格魅力,但思...
評分节选短评《致赫尔维亚 的告慰书》 —关于流放 为了给真正的迁徙以补偿,并忘掉由于流放所引发的其他不便,罗马最博学的人法罗认为,我们无论走到哪里,所面对的自然的秩序都是相同的,这一点足够补偿了。马库斯•布鲁特斯认为流放者自己的美德是随身携带的,这一点就...
