Dialogues (Illustrated)

“No man was ever wise by chance.” <br />― Seneca <br /> <br />Seneca's <b>Dialogues</b>—as his epistolary essays have traditionally been known— capture the full range of the Roman thinker’s philosophical interests, in particular Stoicism and his unique interpretation of it. <br /> <br />Students of Stoicism will appreciate the further exploration of ideas touched on in Seneca’s <i>Letters From A Stoic: Epistulae Morales AD Lucilium</i>: the <i>Dialogues</i> illustrate the deeply intertwined cosmological and moral arguments of ancient Rome’s chief philosophical alternative to Epicureanism and Skepticism. <br /> <br />Seneca’s writings on subjects such as the shortness of life, anger, tranquility of mind, and consolations for grief on the loss of a loved one, are strikingly applicable to our modern world. <br /> <br />The Complete Dialogues are collected here: <br /> <br />On the Shortness of Life (De Brevitate Vitae) <br />Of a Happy Life (De Vita Beata) <br />Of Providence (De Providentia) <br />On the Firmness of the Wise Man (De Constantia Sapientis) <br />Of Anger (De Ira) <br />Of Leisure (De Otio) <br />Of Peace of Mind (De Tranquillitate Animi) <br />Of Clemency (De Clementia) <br /> <br />Also included in this eBook: an original essay, ‘Seneca The Stoic’ and a Seneca image gallery. <br />
