Bøger af Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Lucius Annaeus Seneca var romersk tragedieforfatter, digter, filosof og statsmand. Han er forfatter til de filosofiske tekster: Om livets korthed. Om vrede. Om mildhed. Om sindsro, som her udgives i ét samlet værk som en del af Gyldendals Oldtidsserie. Bogen er med nyt forord af Niels Overgaard,  forfatter til Det hele handler ikke om dig selv. Antikke principper for et liv med sindsro, frihed og mening (2020).I Om livets korthed skriver Seneca om livets forgængelighed og hvordan man får det bedste ud af det, ved ikke at lade sig distrahere, eller spilde livet, fordi man tror det varer evigt. Seneca skriver indsigtsfuldt og relevant om hvordan mennesket ødsler det mest kostbare, som det har, bort – nemlig tiden. Fordi tiden ikke er materiel eller synlig.”Kortest og mest beklemmende er deres liv som glemmer fortiden, forsømmer nutiden og ængstes for fremtiden” skriver Seneca i sit filosofiske skrift, som en kærkommen påmindelse om at være til stede, om at huske og om ikke at frygte dét, man ikke kan kontrollere.Om vrede. Om mildhed. Om sindsro er tre centrale tekster i Senecas forfatterskab. Om vrede indeholder blandt andet en detaljeret beskrivelse af det menneskelige sind og hvordan sindet påvirkes. Senecas tanker om vrede er højaktuelle i dag, hvor en hård og barsk tone fylder mere i den offentlige debat. Seneca skrev Om mildhed til kejser Nero kort efter hans tronbestigelse i år 54. Teksten er Senecas forsøg på at overbevise kejseren om, at man når længst med mildhed, og at hvis man misbruger sin magt imod naturens orden, vil disse grusomheder blive vendt mod en selv. I Om sindsro skriver Seneca vedkommende om hvordan selvindsigt kan befri mennesket fra den ydre verdens omskiftelighed.

Tekster af den romerske filosof, digter og statsmand, der levede samtidig med Jesus, og hvis liv var under stærk indflydelse af det politiske klima i datidens Rom - og omvendt. Det er Villy Sørensen, der står bag udvalget af teksterne: Om vrede blev sandsynligvis publiceret i år 41, det år Caligula døde, og skrevet under indtryk af dennes liv. Om mildhed blev skrevet til Nero kort efter hans tronbestigelse i år 54. Om sindsro er skrevet i perioden, hvor Seneca stillede sig selv spørgsmålet om han ikke kunne gøre større gavn som forfatter end som minister. Bogen er udkommet parallelt med udgivelsen af Villy Sørensens værk om Seneca.

In Moral Essays, Seneca (c. 4-65 CE) expresses his Stoic philosophy on providence, steadfastness, anger, forgiveness, consolation, the happy life, leisure, tranquility, the brevity of life, and gift-giving.

Las obras filosóficas de Lucio Anneo Séneca (ca. 4 a.C.-65 d.C.) han ejercido un duradero influjo sobre la cultura occidental y contienen una formulación significativa de las ideas del estoicismo maduro."De la brevedad de la vida", dedicado a Paulino -quien probablemente era padre de su segunda mujer-, fue compuesto en el año 49 o 50. En él, Séneca afirma que la vida, aunque lo pueda parecer, no es breve, sino que es el individuo quien hace que así lo sea.El tema principal de este ensayo es la vida y como los mortales nos dedicamos a vivir la misma. El autor enfatiza que nuestra vida sería más duradera si no dedicáramos tanto tiempo a asuntos vanos e inútiles. Su propósito es crear conciencia para que nuestras vidas tomen la perspectiva de vivir al máximo; y no se nos haga tarde cuando, queramos dar marcha atrás al momento de la muerte.
