In <em>The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca</em>, representative selections from Seneca's writings offer the reader an excellent introduction to the range of his work.<br /> <br /> The selections are drawn from the essays, or dialogues, and the "Consolations;" from the treatises, of which "On Clemency," addressed to the young Nero, is included here; and from the <em>Letters to Lucilius</em>, which have to do not only with philosophical subjects but also with Seneca's personal experiences, such as journeys and visits.<br /> <br /> Moses Hadas has selected letters and essays which reveal Seneca's major philosophical themes—the relationship of the individual to society and to the gods; the meaning of pain and misfortune; man's attitudes to change, time, and death; and the nature of the highest good and of the happy life. In his Introduction, Professor Hadas discusses Seneca's life and work, tracing the history of his reputation; comments on Seneca's style; and outlines the origins and tenets of Stoicism. 93902 17 9
