Seneca Moral Essays, Volume II: English Text

The Stoics of the Roman Era Collection contains essays and other writings of several prominent philosophers from the time of Nero’s reign until the rule of Marcus Aurelius. In the first couple centuries following the birth of Christ, numerous philosophers wrestled with the philosophies of human morality, ethics, happy life, forgiveness, and emotional and spiritual trials. Seneca’s collection of essays (Ad Lucillium Epistulae Morales vol. 1–3 and Moral Essays, vol. 1–3) discusses the philosophical approach to happiness and satisfaction, exploring specific topics such as wealth, anger, leisure, and tranquility. This volume contains John W. Basore’s English translation of Seneca’s Moral Essays, vol. 2.
