Seneca (Stoicism Part II)
Seneca (Stoicism Part II)
This is the second part of a three-course plan providing an in-depth introduction to Stoicism (the video provided introduces the whole theme). Seneca was a central literary figure, as well as participating in public affairs in the imperial court. He has been read for centuries for his Latin eloquence, pithy maxims, and fertile discourses on philosophical themes germane to everyday life. This middle course will focus on the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (4 BC-65 AD), as he deals with some of the most universal problems confronting human life. These include how to find tranquility in every situation, how to deal with the sense that life is passing too quickly, how to manage passions like anger and sorrow, and how to cope with the loss of loved ones. In studying these enriching essays from ancient times, we will see how Seneca´s philosophy still speaks to us today in our quest for a life of wisdom, virtue, and happiness.
One change - in the previous course, I had posted questions for each lecture. This time I will leave the initiative to the students to ask me any questions they may have about the material with a Q and A feature.
I look forward to learning with you! -ARP.
