Autorenporträt
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, born around 4 BC in Corduba (modern-day Córdoba, Spain), was a significant figure in both Roman politics and Stoic philosophy. Raised in Rome by his aunt, he studied rhetoric and philosophy, which shaped his intellectual pursuits. His philosophical leanings toward Stoicism, with its emphasis on self-control, rationality, and virtue, became central to his later writings. Seneca gained prominence in Roman society and was appointed tutor to the young Emperor Nero, a relationship that would later become complicated.As Nero's advisor, Seneca initially enjoyed a close and influential role, helping to govern the empire during the early years of Nero's reign. However, as Nero grew more tyrannical, Seneca's position became increasingly precarious. He attempted to withdraw from public life, but his connection to the emperor ultimately led to his downfall. In 65 AD, after being implicated in the Pisonian conspiracy to assassinate Nero, Seneca was ordered to take his own life. He complied, in a manner reflecting the Stoic virtues he had long championed.Seneca's philosophical legacy endures, particularly through his letters and essays on Stoicism, which address themes like the fleeting nature of life, the value of wisdom, and the importance of resilience in adversity. His writings have influenced many subsequent generations of thinkers, from early Christians to Renaissance humanists. Beyond philosophy, Seneca was also a dramatist, known for his tragedies, which explored human suffering and moral dilemmas, further solidifying his impact on Western literature and thought.
