On Clemency is a two volume (incomplete) hortatory essay written in 55-56 CE by Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher, to the emperor Nero in the first five years of his reign. From Seneca's remarks, it would appear that it was written after Nero had turned 18, which would place it after the murder of his rival Britannicus in 55 AD. It may therefore have been written partly as an apology, perhaps as a means of assuring the Roman nobility that the murder would be the end, not the beginning of bloodshed.

The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as ‘On Benefits'. However, it is more usefully titled ‘On Favours', because this is what it is essentially about: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions.

Who doesn't worry sometimes that smart phones, the Internet, and TV are robbing us of time and preventing us from having a life? How can we make the most of our time on earth? In the first century AD, the Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger offered one of the most famous answers to that question in his essay "On the Shortness of Life"—a work that has more to teach us today than ever before.

Of Leisure only survives in a fragmentary state. The work concerns the rational use of spare time, whereby one can still actively aid humankind by engaging in wider questions about nature and the universe. The text begins mid-sentence, and ends rather abruptly. In the Codex Ambrosianus (the main source for Seneca's essays) it is simply tacked onto the end of De Vita Beata suggesting a scribe missed a page or two.

In On the Firmness of the Wise Man Seneca argues that Stoicism is not as harsh as it first appears. Recalling the figure of Cato the Younger, Seneca argues that Cato as a wise person suffered neither injury nor insult. Although Serenus objects to this paradox, Seneca provides further analogies to emphasize the impervious nature of the wise person. In chapter 5 Seneca distinguishes between contumelia (insults) and iniuria (injuries).

«No hay nada que podamos llamar verdaderamente nuestro, excepto nuestro tiempo y nuestra virtud», afirma Séneca, quizás el filósofo estoico más influyente de la historia. En los capítulos de El arte de ser feliz, el lector encontrará no solo consejos para encaminar su vida hacia la felicidad personal, sino también un gran consuelo contra las tristezas y el infortunio. ¿Cómo conseguimos dominar «el arte de ser feliz»? Séneca tiene una sola respuesta: siendo virtuosos y aceptando nuestra naturaleza humana.

Of Anger by Seneca (4 BC-65 AD) defines and explains anger within the context of Stoic philosophy, and offers therapeutic advice on how to prevent and control anger. This is achievable by the development of an understanding of how to control the passions, and to make them subject to reason. Seneca believed that the passions arise in a rational mind as a misunderstanding of reality. A passion is a defective belief which occurs when the mind makes errors about the values of things.

There are times when we've all felt that we haven't been treated as we deserve—that we've been misjudged, shortchanged, or given a raw deal. And, at one time or another, other people have probably felt that we've treated them just as unfairly. How to Do the Right Thing draws on the principles of ancient Stoicism as articulated by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca to help listeners better navigate one of the most important practical questions of daily life—how to do right by others.

The first book in the essays of Seneca deals with good and evil. The dialogue is opened by Lucilius complaining with his friend Seneca that adversities and misfortunes can happen to good men too. How can this fit with the goodness connected with the design of providence? Seneca answers according to the Stoic point of view.

Seneca három Vigasztalása , consolációja az ókori vigasztalásirodalom legérettebb alkotása. Az első egy asszonyhoz szól, aki elvesztette fiát, a második az író egy barátjához, aki testvérét siratja, a harmadikat pedig édesanyjához írta Seneca korzikai száműzetéséből. E műfaj elméletét Ciceró foglalta össze tömören: a vigasztalás első eszköze bebizonyítani, hogy nincs rossz, s ha van, nem jelentékeny; a második, rámutatni, hogy minden bánat és gyász az élet törvénye; a harmadik, bebizonyítani, hogy értelmetlen elemészteni magunkat a bánatban, holott világosan tudjuk, hogy nincs ellene orvosság.
