Jaký je smysl života, v čem spočívá pravé štěstí, jak dosáhnout trvalé radosti, neohrožené mysli a moudrosti, jak žít, ale také jak zemřít, to jsou základní témata a otázky nejznámějšího a nejčtenějšího Senekova díla, které vzniklo před téměř dvěma tisíci lety a které se nyní poprvé v úplnosti dostává k českému čtenáři. Jeden z nejcitovanějších autorů všech dob v něm prostřednictvím dopisů adresovaných svému příteli Luciliovi Iuniorovi odpovídá na základní otázky lidské existence a nabízí klíč k tomu, jak se stát opravdovým mudrcem a připodobnit se bohu. Vyhýbej se davu, usiluj o trvalý duševní klid, neochvějnou vyrovnanost a vnitřní autonomii, vypěstuj si nezávislost na vrtkavé a nevyzpytatelné Štěstěně, která někdy štědře obdarovává, a jindy zas bere, pohrdej bohatstvím, slávou, ale i smrtí, nepodléhej vášním a vnějším impulzům, odpoutej se od všeho pomíjivého a především se uč žít v souladu s přirozeností a neustávej v sebezdokonalování a vědomém utváření vlastního já - to jsou hlavní naučení a doporučení, která Lucius Annaeus Seneca rozpracoval a zformuloval již v letech 63 a 64 našeho letopočtu a která díky výraznému individiualismu, jakož i modernímu jazyku a živé dikci, dodnes nepřestávají inspirovat čtenáře. První kompletní vydání Senekových dopisů Luciliovi vychází v překladu Bohumila Ryby a Václava Bahníka. Vydání je doplněno úvahou Petra Dvořáka o stoickém pojetí osobní transformace a ideálu emočního života.

The Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca (4 BCE-65 CE) recorded his moral philosophy and reflections on life as a highly original kind of correspondence. Letters on Ethics includes vivid descriptions of town and country life in Nero's Italy, discussions of poetry and oratory, and philosophical training for Seneca's friend Lucilius. This volume, the first complete English translation in nearly a century, makes the Letters more accessible than ever before. Written as much for a general audience as for Lucilius, these engaging letters offer advice on how to deal with everything from nosy neighbors to sickness, pain, and death. Seneca uses the informal format of the letter to present the central ideas of Stoicism, for centuries the most influential philosophical system in the Mediterranean world. His lively and at times humorous expositions have made the Letters his most popular work and an enduring classic. Including an introduction and explanatory notes by Margaret Graver and A. A. Long, this authoritative edition will captivate a new generation of readers.

Selected from the Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, Seneca''s Letters from a Stoic are a set of ''essays in disguise'' from one of the most insightful philosophers of the Silver Age of Roman literature. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Latin with an introduction by Robin Campbell.A philosophy that saw self-possession as the key to an existence lived ''in accordance with nature'', Stoicism called for the restraint of animal instincts and the severing of emotional ties. These beliefs were formulated by the Athenian followers of Zeno in the fourth century BC, but it was in Seneca that the Stoics found their most eloquent advocate. Stoicism, as expressed in the Letters, helped ease pagan Rome''s transition to Christianity, for it upholds upright ethical ideals and extols virtuous living, as well as expressing disgust for the harsh treatment of slaves and the inhumane slaughters witnessed in the Roman arenas. Seneca''s major contribution to a seemingly unsympathetic creed was to transform it into a powerfully moving and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.Robin Campbell''s lucid translation captures Seneca''s humour and tautly aphoristic style. In his introduction, he discusses the tensions between Seneca''s philosophy and his turbulent career as adviser to the tyrannical emperor Nero.Lucius Annaeus Seneca (c.4BC - AD65) was born in Spain but was raised according to the traditional values of the republic of Rome. In AD48 he became tutor to the future emperor Nero and became his principal civil advisor when he took power. His death was eventually ordered by Nero in AD65, but Seneca anticipated the emperor''s decree and committed suicide.If you enjoyed Letters from a Stoic, you might like Marcus Aurelius''s Meditations, also available in Penguin Classics.

While its tone is playful and frivolous, this book poses tough questions over the nature of religion and belief. Religion provides comfortable responses to the questions that have always beset humankind - why are we here, what is the point of being alive, how ought we to behave? Russell snatches that comfort away, leaving us instead with other, more troublesome alternatives: responsibility, autonomy, self-awareness. He tells us that the time to live is now, the place to live is here, and the way to be happy is to ensure others are happy.

V dnešní době zaznamenáváme obrovský zájem o stoicismus, ale přestože je Seneca označován za "nejpřesvědčivějšího a nejelegantnějšího ze stoických spisovatelů", nikdo dosud nenapsal knihu, v níž by jeho učení přiblížil běžnému čtenáři. Doufám, že moje kniha tuto mezeru zaplní a osvětlí vám jeho filosofii. Možná že tato kniha ukojí zvědavost některých čtenářů, již se o Senekovu filosofii zajímají. Mezi stoiky Seneca vyniká hlubokým psychologickým vhledem do lidské povahy, ctižádosti i obav. Jako první učenec západního světa důkladně zkoumal psychologii konzumerismu. Výrazně přispěl i k pochopení emocí a hněvu a jeho myšlenky si uchovaly platnost dodnes. Krátce řečeno, Seneca nebyl akademický teoretik, nýbrž člověk, který to ve skutečnosti "všechno zažil" - ty nejlepší i ty nejhorší stránky lidské povahy.[i] To, o čem psal, znal z první ruky a měl jedinečnou schopnost porozumět vnitřní, psychické motivaci lidí. Právě to z něj činí po dvou tisících letech nedocenitelného průvodce i pro moderního čtenáře. Senekova doba je tedy i naší dobou. Seneca je naším současníkem a my s ním sdílíme jeho nejhlubší obavy.

From acclaimed author Camryn Garrett comes a middle-grade mystery with a magical twist, about a girl who goes to live with her aunt in the summer after the loss of her father—and who finds a doorway in Central Park that leads to a magically preserved historical village Filled with sparkling magic, honest explorations of grief, and moving depictions of a new friendship, The Forgotten Summer of Seneca asks us to remember a history that’s often overlooked—and imagine a future where we’re brave enough to embrace change. Everything is changing, and twelve-year-old Rowan Robinson hates it. She’s dreading having to spend her summer in New York City with her Aunt Monica, even though she used to love it. But things are just different after her father passed away. Without him, nothing about her world feels the same. Things start to get a little better when Rowan brings her dad’s old camera to Central Park to take pictures. But as she’s snapping photos, she notices a strange mirror-like shape floating in the air. When she gets closer to it, she trips and falls through the portal, and after she lands, she finds herself in a different world: Seneca Village, where Black people with magical abilities seem to live in the past, in a time without phones or electricity. At first, Rowan thinks it must be a dream, but the more time she spends in the village with her new friend Lily, the more she wants it to be real. But outsiders aren’t even supposed to be able to find Seneca. Rowan and Lily aren’t sure how Rowan was able to see the portal, but they suspect it might have something to do with the girl who normally guards the portal having gone missing. As Rowan and Lily search for clues to help find the missing girl and uncover the truth of the portal’s magic, Rowan begins to realize what secrets this village might be hiding, and how the events of the past still linger in the present day.

Mnoho císařů, kteří vládli ve své době největší známé říši, bylo zapomenuto. Na jejich busty v příšeří tmavých depozitářů muzeí sedá prach. Jeden z nich nás ale svými myšlenkami dokáže inspirovat i po dvou tisících letech. Marcus Aurelius. Později často představovaný jako nemocný nebo bledý, který ale přežil nejen zášť na římském dvoře, ale také smrt svých dětí, mnohaletý pobyt kdesi na severu v Panonii mezi divokými barbarskými kmeny nebo zradu svého nejbližšího přítele. Jak to dokázal, zachovat se vždy moudře a rozvážně? Co mu pomáhalo v těžkých situacích? Co se mu asi honilo v hlavě? Je to stoický přístup k věcem. Římský císař Marcus Aurelius byl zároveň posledním známým stoickým filosofem antického světa. Hovory k sobě, jeho osobní deník, jsou čtené dodnes jako jedno z klasických děl seberozvojové a duchovní literatury všech dob. Donald Robertson ve své knize umně propojuje Markův život s jeho filosofií, čímž vytváří přesvědčivou moderní příručku stoické moudrosti, kterou se po celá staletí řídil bezpočet jednotlivců na své cestě za dosažením většího naplnění a emoční odolnosti.

This novel biography brings Marcus Aurelius (121–180 CE) to life for a new generation of readers by exploring the emperor’s fascinating psychological journey. Donald J. Robertson examines Marcus’s relationships with key figures in his life, such as his mother, Domitia Lucilla, and the emperor Hadrian, as well as his Stoic tutors. He draws extensively on Marcus’s own Meditations and correspondence, and he examines the emperor’s actions as detailed in the Augustan History and other ancient texts.Marcus Aurelius struggled to reconcile his philosophy and moral values with the political pressures he faced as emperor at the height of Roman power.Robertson examines Marcus’s attitude toward slavery and the moral dilemma posed by capturing enemies in warfare; his attitude toward women; the role of Stoicism in shaping his response to the threat of civil war; the treatment of Christians under his rule; and the naming of his notorious son Commodus as his successor. Throughout, the Meditations is used to shed light on the mind of the emperor—his character, values, and motives—as Robertson skillfully weaves together Marcus’s inner journey as a philosopher with the outer events of his life as a Roman emperor.

The Japanese perspective that made The Little Book of Ikigai a worldwide bestseller meets the wisdom of the ancients. The result is a new version of stoicism that is practical, global, future-proof and, above all, optimistic. In a world overflowing with abundance and information, the calm and clarity of stoicism has never been more necessary. In this new book, bestselling author Ken Mogi explores the ancient Greek philosophy as well as its resonance with other cultures around the world, not least his own Japanese perspective. With his expertise as a neuroscientist, Mogi uncovers the cognitive foundations of the resilience that is so central to stoicism. Rooted in science, he finds in stoicism robust coping strategies for the challenges of modern life, and ways to balance self-discipline with enjoying life's pleasures. But stoicism is also a mindset that uniquely equips us to handle the future, from global challenges such as the climate emergency to the rise and rise of AI. Thinking like a stoic, he argues, can offer us not just a path for personal growth and wisdom, but the key to the future of humanity.
