Excellent introduction to Stoicism and Seneca - an interesting early Roman I previously knew little about. I'm diving into Philosophy and starting with some introductory books before I start reading the actual writings of the great Philosophers, and this was a great one. ( ) Much common sense. Taken from Seneca's writings on Stoicism, mostly from letters to a friend, easy to read and to understand. I thought an interesting fact, Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the U.S., used the phrase "pursuit of happiness" by which the author of this book opines that he meant "the pursuit of virtue." sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"The first clear and faithful guide to the timeless, practical teachings of the Stoic philosopher Seneca. Stoicism, the most influential philosophy of the Roman Empire, offers refreshingly modern ways to strengthen our inner character in the face of an unpredictable world. Widely recognized as the most talented and humane writer of the Stoic tradition, Seneca teaches us to live with freedom and purpose. His most enduring work, over a hundred "Letters from a Stoic" written to a close friend, explains how to handle adversity; overcome grief, anxiety, and anger; transform setbacks into opportunities for growth; and recognize the true nature of friendship. In Breakfast with Seneca, philosopher David Fideler mines Seneca's classic works in a series of focused chapters, clearly explaining Seneca's ideas without oversimplifying them. Best enjoyed as a daily ritual, like an energizing cup of coffee, Seneca's wisdom provides us with a steady stream of time-tested advice about the human condition-which, as it turns out, hasn't changed much over the past two thousand years"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
