Lucius Annaeus Seneca was an important philosopher in the ancient world, representing Stoicism. His views were shaped under the influence of the ancient Greek thinker Posidonius and strongly affected both his contemporaries and future generations.
Seneca’s works are an outspoken “code of honor,” demonstrating his philosophy and inviting readers to a dialogue. His writings raise questions about life and death, happiness and grief, philosophy and mathematics, as well as what a balanced mind should be and how to live so as not to lose inspiration.
