| Publisher Description: This book contains eighteen essays on Lucius Annaeus Seneca, renowned Stoic Philosopher and Statesman of the Neronian Age. As author of epistles, treatises, dialogues, dramas, and epigrams, he produced a prolific and varied amount of literary works that have indeed augmented and enriched Rome's legacy to civilization. Like the previous volume Essays on Seneca (Frankfurt and New York: Peter Lang, 1993), Further Essays deals with Seneca's major philosophic thoughts as well as his artistry, his style, his wit, his irony; it presents an in-depth analysis of individual topics that serve to reveal the Cordoban Philosopher's learning, knowledge, humanitas, and deep psychological understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of human nature. Serving as a companion to the 1993 volume, Further Essays portrays again Seneca's well-earned reputation as distinguished Philosopher and creative artist. |
