Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: A, Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: “All philosophers do not say how they live. They say how one should live”. Seneca, On the Happy Life Seneca does not write as a philosopher who creates or expounds a philosophical theory from the ground up and he was not a Stoic orthodox. Rather, he writes within the Stoic system that he is largely in agreement with. Seneca emphasizes his independence as a thinker and his philosophical system is an interesting and systematic combination of different philosophical views. Like other late Stoics, Seneca is first and foremost interested in ethics which will guide people in their everyday life. In this paper we will discuss Seneca’s main philosophical and ethical views which may influence economic relationships in a society.
