Seneca Science

It is a world filled with outlaws, gun-slingers, and native tribes. Listeners will recognize the characters and their inspirations, while reveling in the chance to experience them in a whole new way. In this book, the inhabitants of the Seneca 6 mining settlement lived in peace under the watchful eye of Sheriff Sam Clayton until the day he was murdered deep in the heart of the wasteland. His son, Jem Clayton, fled the settlement and turned outlaw.

In diesem siebten Abschnitt widmet sich Lucius Annaeus Seneca – einer der bedeutendsten Denker des antiken Rom – der zentralen Frage: Wie erreicht man ein wahrhaft glückliches Leben? Für Seneca führt der Weg zum Glück nicht über äußeren Reichtum, sondern über innere Klarheit, Vernunft und Tugend. Die Schrift ist ein präzises, eindringliches Plädoyer für ein tugendhaftes, freies Leben im Einklang mit der stoischen Philosophie.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (ca. 1–65 n. Chr.) zählt zu den einflussreichsten Philosophen der römischen Antike. In seiner Schriftensammlung "Dialoge" widmet er sich im neunten Abschnitt der "Gemütsruhe". Als bedeutender Vertreter der Stoa zeigt Seneca, wie innere Ruhe auch inmitten äußerer Turbulenzen möglich ist. Diese philosophische Reflexion lädt ein, über Bedürfnisse, Gelassenheit, das Menschenbild in der Gesellschaft und den Weg zu innerer Balance nachzudenken – ein zentrales Werk stoischer Weisheit.

"Von der Kürze des Lebens" ist ein philosophisches Meisterwerk der Weltliteratur und eine der bedeutendsten Schriften Senecas. Als Teil seiner "Dialoge" gehört es zum Kernbestand der stoischen Philosophie. Mit eindringlicher Klarheit richtet sich der Text gegen Zeitverschwendung, Zerstreuung und den unreflektierten äußeren Lebenswandel. In seinem Appell zur Lebenskunst macht Seneca deutlich: Das Leben ist nicht zu kurz – es wird nur allzu oft falsch genutzt. Die Schrift lädt ein, innezuhalten, Prioritäten zu hinterfragen und sich auf das Wesentliche zu besinnen.

Bernard Schaffer's Guns of Seneca 6 series is an Old West romp on a remote planet where gunslingers, outlaws and lawmen battle over the frontier. In this jaw-dropping sequel, newly-appointed Sheriff Jem Clayton just can't get used to being an upstanding citizen. People only seem to want to complain to him about all sorts of trivial things and he just can't fake being interested anymore. When a wagon full of bank robbers show up, it's time for Jem to unload his frustrations in more ways than one.

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).

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.

In the quiet town of Seneca Falls, New York, over the course of two days in July 1848, a small group of women and men, led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, held a convention that would launch the woman's rights movement and change the course of history. The implications of that remarkable convention would be felt around the world - and indeed are still being felt today.

Séneca fue un filósofo de la escuela estoica, un dramaturgo y un estadista romano del primer siglo. A veces se le llama Séneca el filósofo, Séneca el trágico o Séneca el joven. Consejero de la corte imperial bajo Calígula y tutor de Nerón, Séneca desempeñó un papel importante en el asesoramiento de Nerón antes de que fuera desacreditado e impulsado al suicidio. Sus tratados filosóficos como "Sobre la ira", "Sobre la vida feliz" y "Sobre la brevedad de la vida", y sobre todo sus cartas a Lucilius, exponen sus estoicas concepciones filosóficas.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-AD 65) is one of the most famous Roman philosophers. Instrumental in guiding the Roman Empire under emperor Nero, Seneca influenced him from a young age with his Stoic principles. Later in life, he wrote Letters from a Stoic, detailing these principles in full. Seneca’s letters read like a diary or a handbook of philosophical meditations. Often beginning with observations on daily life, the letters focus on many traditional themes of Stoic philosophy, such as the contempt of death, the value of friendship, and virtue as the supreme good.

To give and receive well may be the most human thing you can do-but it is also the closest you can come to divinity. So argues the great Roman Stoic thinker Seneca in his longest and most searching moral treatise, "On Benefits" (De Beneficiis). James Romm's splendid new translation of essential selections from this work conveys the heart of Seneca's argument that generosity and gratitude are among the most important of all virtues.

Der Alltag, der Erfolg, der Beruf, die Familie, die Liebe, die Sexualität, kurz das Leben, scheint das Schwierigste auf der Welt zu sein. Warum sonst erscheinen diese unzähligen Ratgeber, die für alle Lebenslagen Hilfe anbieten und in allen Medien präsent sind. Dabei könnte alles so einfach sein. Seneca wusste schon vor 2000 Jahren so viel über den Menschen und die Gesellschaft, dass die Lektüre seiner Schriften die meisten Ratgeber überflüssig macht...
