Ancient Philosophy for Modern Wisdom - Practical Wisdom from a Great Philosopher.
Of all the ancient philosophers, Seneca's writings are the most accessible and have continued to inspire readers through the ages. His clear, journalistic writing style dedicates itself to Stoic thought, which mark Forstater vividly brings to life on issues like pleasure and the problem of desire, happiness and contentment, anger, fear, courage, love and trust, anxiety and tranquility, goodness, freedom, and much more.
Seneca's ideas come surprisingly close in spirit to our own. His is a rich philosophy which speaks as loudly today as it ever did. Revealing the man as well as his writings, Forstater sheds fascinating light on the contradictions of this controversial character - many of which will have a clear resonance for our own age.
