Letters on ethics : to Lucilius
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, which included vivid descriptions of town and country life in Nero's Italy, discussions of poetry and oratory, and philosophical training for his friend Lucilius. Written as much for a general audience as for Lucilius, his engaging letters offer advice on how to deal with everything, from nosy neighbours to sickness, pain and death. Seneca also 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.
