“An exceptionally accessible” new translation of “the lively and urgent writings of one of classical antiquity’s most important ethicists” (Choice). 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. Letters on Ethics includes vivid descriptions of town and country life in Nero’s Italy, discussions of poetry and oratory, and philosophical training for Seneca’s friend Lucilius. This volume, the first complete English translation in nearly a century, makes the Letters more accessible than ever before. Written as much for a general audience as for Lucilius, these engaging letters offer advice on how to deal with everything from nosy neighbors to sickness, pain, and death. Seneca 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. His lively and at times humorous expositions have made the Letters his most popular work and an enduring classic. Including an introduction and explanatory notes by Margaret Graver and A. A. Long, this authoritative edition will captivate a new generation of readers.

This book provides a detailed commentary on Book 1 (epistulae 1-12) of Seneca's Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales, written in the last years (62-65 AD) of the philosopher's life. The importance of the Epistulae Morales as an example, possibly the consummation, of Seneca's writings and a discussion of Roman (Stoic) moral philosophy, is universally acknowledged. The purpose in focusing upon these first twelve epistles, which establish the principle and intention of this large collection of twenty extant Books, is to interpret and annotate the letters and add insight to the understanding of the Epistulae Morales overall. Every letter in Book 1 is discussed in the form of a commentary. Areas of comment include vocabulary and style, personal allusions to Seneca, relevant issues of history and social environment and, inevitably, the moral and philosophical concepts which form the substance of Seneca's argument throughout the Epistulae Morales. Two further issues, the Structure and Style of Book 1, are discussed in separate chapters.

The Epistulae morales ad Lucilium (English: Moral Epistles to Lucilius) is a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life. They are addressed to Lucilius, the then procurator of Sicily, although he is known only through Seneca's writings. In these letters, Seneca gives Lucilius tips on how to become a more devoted Stoic. Lucilius was, at that time, the Governor of Sicily, although he is known only through Seneca's writings. Selected from the Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, these letters illustrate the upright ideals admired by the Stoics and extol the good way of life as seen from their standpoint They also reveal how far in advance of his time were many of Seneca's ideas - his disgust at the shows in the arena or his criticism of the harsh treatment of slaves. Philosophical in tone and written in the 'pointed' style of the Latin Silver Age these 'essays in disguise' were clearly aimed by Seneca at posterity.

Sêneca foi simultaneamente dramaturgo de sucesso, uma das pessoas mais ricas de Roma, estadista famoso e conselheiro do imperador. Sêneca teve que negociar, persuadir e planejar seu caminho pela vida. Ao invés de filosofar da segurança da cátedra de uma universidade, ele teve que lidar constantemente com pessoas não cooperativas e poderosas e enfrentar o desastre, o exílio, a saúde frágil e a condenação à morte tanto por Calígula como por Nero. Sêneca correu riscos e teve grandes feitos.Sua principal filosofia, o estoicismo, pode ser encarada como um sistema para prosperar em ambientes de alto estresse. Em seu núcleo, ensina como separar o que você pode controlar do que não pode e nos treina para se concentrar exclusivamente no primeiro. Thomas Jefferson tinha Sêneca na mesa de cabeceira. Michel de Montaigne tinha uma citação de Epicteto esculpida no teto de sua casa para que ele a visse constantemente. Todos os anos, Bill Clinton lê Meditações de Marco Aurélio, que foi ao mesmo tempo um estoico, imperador e o homem mais poderoso do mundo. Mas longe de se limitar em superar o negativo, o estoicismo também pode ser usado para maximizar o positivo.As cartas de Sêneca podem ser interpretadas como um guia prático para frugalidade e como contentar-se com o suficiente. A prática do estoicismo torna você menos emocionalmente reativo, mais consciente do presente e mais resiliente. À medida que você navega na vida, esse tipo de treinamento de força mental também facilita as decisões difíceis, seja desistir de um emprego, fundar uma empresa, convidar alguém para sair, terminar um relacionamento ou qualquer outra coisa.A filosofia de Sêneca aborda a busca da felicidade, a preparação para a morte, as desilusões, a amizade e levanta uma das principais questões humanas: como conjugar qualidade de vida e tempo escasso. Leitores do século XXI serão surpreendidos por lições como: "A duração de minha vida não depende de mim. O que depende é que não percorra de forma pouco nobre as fases dessa vida; devo governá-la, e não por ela ser levado"; "Pobre não é o homem que tem pouco, mas o homem que anseia por mais. Qual é o limite adequado para a riqueza? É, primeiro, ter o que é necessário, e, segundo, ter o que é suficiente " Ou ainda: "Não deixemos nada para mais tarde. Acertemos nossas contas com a vida dia após dia".Obra completa com as 124 cartas dividida em 3 volumes: Volume I: Cartas 1 a 65Volume II: Cartas 66 a 92Volume III: Cartas 93 a 124Todas as cartas iniciam com a "Seneca Lvcilio svo salvtem", Saudações de Sêneca a Lucílio e terminam com "Vale" que muito frequentemente é traduzido como "Adeus". Talvez fosse melhor traduzido de outras maneiras, e minha forma favorita é Mantenha-se forte.

This study examines how Cyprian of Carthage, the most significant bishop in the early Latin tradition, appropriates the canonical Paul. Cyprian, like Paul, is a pastoral theologian, so his pastoral concerns provide a helpful lens through which to study his use of the apostle. These include divine truth and eternal glory; the church’s unity, ministry and sacraments; discipline and repentance; and wealth and welfare. Examining Cyprian’s use of Paul in these areas allows us to move beyond a simple literal/allegorical paradigm to appreciate the wide range of reading strategies used by Cyprian: model, image, maxim, title, contextual exegesis, direct application, prophetic fulfilment and qualification. It also provides a different perspective on Paul than the one arrived at by privileging a handful of texts. This study of Cyprian’s appropriation of Pauline texts therefore illuminates the interplay between text, context and theology in his exegesis. It also deepens our understanding of the early North African hermeneutical tradition and the early reception of Paul.
