Seneca Science

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.

Los sabios consejos dirigidos a su discípulo Lucilio tienen una validez que traspasa las fronteras del tiempo. Séneca nos habla sobre la conveniencia de una relación de equilibrio con la naturaleza, sobre la importancia de las cosas que hacemos a diario, cómo llevar una vida sana y honesta, qué es licito y qué no, lo que nos enriquece y nos empobrece, lo que es bueno y lo que es malo sin caer en el maniqueísmo, sobre la importancia y el cultivo de la amistad.

Why do we complain of Nature? She has shown herself kindly; life, if you know how to use it, is long. But one man is possessed by an avarice that is insatiable, another by a toilsome devotion to tasks that are useless; one man is besotted with wine, another is paralyzed by sloth; one man is exhausted by an ambition that always hangs upon the decision of others, another, driven on by the greed of the trader, is led over all lands and all seas by the hope of gain; some are tormented by a passion for war and are always either bent upon inflicting danger upon 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.

¿Cómo morir? La pregunta suena de mal agüero en nuestra frenética actualidad. Vivimos como si no fuéramos a morir. Y, sin embargo, hemos de afrontar el tema cuanto antes mejor, gracias a la ayuda de la filosofía. Frente al miedo a la muerte, el estoicismo nos propone una liberación: no miremos para otro lado. Séneca nos dice que para no temer a la muerte es necesario tenerla presente, que «se niega a vivir quien se niega a morir».

These three ‘Consolations', written by Seneca to his mother and two friends, have been described as ‘the crowning achievement in the canon of ‘consolation letters'. But sentimental they are not, for they emerge from the writer's deep-seated commitment to Stoicism, where individuals are exhorted to inhabit qualities of virtue, positivity, resilience, and indifference. This recording opens with Seneca's consolatory letter to Marcia, who, after three years, was still mourning the death of her son.
