Bøger af Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Lucius Annaeus Seneca var romersk tragedieforfatter, digter, filosof og statsmand. Han er forfatter til de filosofiske tekster: Om livets korthed. Om vrede. Om mildhed. Om sindsro, som her udgives i ét samlet værk som en del af Gyldendals Oldtidsserie. Bogen er med nyt forord af Niels Overgaard,  forfatter til Det hele handler ikke om dig selv. Antikke principper for et liv med sindsro, frihed og mening (2020).I Om livets korthed skriver Seneca om livets forgængelighed og hvordan man får det bedste ud af det, ved ikke at lade sig distrahere, eller spilde livet, fordi man tror det varer evigt. Seneca skriver indsigtsfuldt og relevant om hvordan mennesket ødsler det mest kostbare, som det har, bort – nemlig tiden. Fordi tiden ikke er materiel eller synlig.”Kortest og mest beklemmende er deres liv som glemmer fortiden, forsømmer nutiden og ængstes for fremtiden” skriver Seneca i sit filosofiske skrift, som en kærkommen påmindelse om at være til stede, om at huske og om ikke at frygte dét, man ikke kan kontrollere.Om vrede. Om mildhed. Om sindsro er tre centrale tekster i Senecas forfatterskab. Om vrede indeholder blandt andet en detaljeret beskrivelse af det menneskelige sind og hvordan sindet påvirkes. Senecas tanker om vrede er højaktuelle i dag, hvor en hård og barsk tone fylder mere i den offentlige debat. Seneca skrev Om mildhed til kejser Nero kort efter hans tronbestigelse i år 54. Teksten er Senecas forsøg på at overbevise kejseren om, at man når længst med mildhed, og at hvis man misbruger sin magt imod naturens orden, vil disse grusomheder blive vendt mod en selv. I Om sindsro skriver Seneca vedkommende om hvordan selvindsigt kan befri mennesket fra den ydre verdens omskiftelighed.

Tekster af den romerske filosof, digter og statsmand, der levede samtidig med Jesus, og hvis liv var under stærk indflydelse af det politiske klima i datidens Rom - og omvendt. Det er Villy Sørensen, der står bag udvalget af teksterne: Om vrede blev sandsynligvis publiceret i år 41, det år Caligula døde, og skrevet under indtryk af dennes liv. Om mildhed blev skrevet til Nero kort efter hans tronbestigelse i år 54. Om sindsro er skrevet i perioden, hvor Seneca stillede sig selv spørgsmålet om han ikke kunne gøre større gavn som forfatter end som minister. Bogen er udkommet parallelt med udgivelsen af Villy Sørensens værk om Seneca.

Vi må altså undersøge, hvad der skal til for, at sjælen kan bevæge sig ubesværet i den samme rytme, være sig selv gunstigt stemt og se med fryd på sig selv, og uden at der går noget skår i denne glæde, blive ved at være i en fredelig tilstand og aldrig opblæst eller nedtrykt. Det kan nemlig kaldes sindsro.Senecas budskaber er så almengyldige, at de taler til os moderne mennesker i dag næsten 2.000 år efter, de er skrevet af Seneca i Romerriget. Seneca lægger vægt på praktisk visdom – handlinger – der anviser os, hvordan vi kan forbedre os og opbygge en stærk karakter.Kolibri-udgivelsen Om stoicisme er med udvalgte uddrag fra Om livets korthed. Om vrede. Om mildhed. Om sindsro. Bogen er i oversættelse af Villy Sørensen.Om stoicisme udkommer i Gyldendals Kolibri-serie, der er bøger om stærke emner skrevet af store forfattere. Kolibrien hører til blandt verdens mindste fugle, og bøgerne i serien er da også mindre end de fleste bøger. Serienavnet er altså både et nik til formatet og samtidig til Gyldendals historie, hvor forlaget igennem tiden lejlighedsvis har benyttet fuglenavne til sine kendte bogserier - Uglen, Spætten og Bekkasinen. Og forlagets logo er en trane.

Senecas BREVE er et hovedværk og en klassiker - det mest omfattende stoiske skrift fra antikken og igennem tiden det mest læste af Senecas værker.?Senecas BREVE er en indføring i stoicismen, skrevet som 124 breve til vennen Lucilius – så man får brevets nære og relaterbare tone, men i virkeligheden filosoffens lærebreve og pædagogiske formidling og anvisninger til sin yngre ven.Denne oversættelse er den første komplette oversættelse af Senecas værk til dansk i 400 år – levende og djærvt, nærværende og let flydende i sin form, men bag det, der kan opfattes som one liners i hobetal, altså et filosofisk læreværk.Stoicismen er en livsfilosofi, der oplever en stor interesse og renæssance i den vestlige verden, fordi den taler ind i vores måde at leve på, hvordan vi skal være som mennesker, ting, der optager os i dag. Brevenes emner er livsnære problemer som tiden, venskabet, døden, smerten, ofte illustreret med en klar kulturkritik, med tankevækkende formuleringer om massesamfundet, stress, materialisme og anden overfladiskhed.Seneca (ca. 4 f.Kr.-65 e.Kr.) var stoisk filosof og blev i sin tid en af Romerrigets mest indflydelsesrige mænd – først som advokat, derpå tvunget i eksil i otte år, siden kaldt tilbage for at tage sig af kejser Nero og til sidst tvunget til selvmord, anklaget for at tage del i en sammensværgelse mod Nero.? Sit værk skrev han i den sidste del af sit liv.Værket udgives i Hans Gregersen og Kell Commerau Madsens nyoversættelse.

Make each of your days meaningful using Seneca's immortal guidance In On the Shortness of Life: The Stoic Classic, Tom Butler-Bowdon introduces the work of Lucius Annaeus Seneca, an ancient Roman philosopher who wrote on the fleeting nature of existence and the need to live in a way that is worthy of the short time we have on this planet. In the book, you'll learn how to go beyond busyness and shallow pursuits and fill your days with purpose. The happy life is the virtuous life. Seneca explains how to: Spend time in reflection and truly honour yourself and your value. Fulfil your duties to family and society yet remain mentally independent. Separate what matters from what merely pleases the ego. Perfect for anyone seeking meaning and purpose in their daily lives, On the Shortness of Life is an extraordinary reminder of the transient nature of life that shows you how to make each moment count.

Las obras filosóficas de Lucio Anneo Séneca (ca. 4 a.C.-65 d.C.) han ejercido un duradero influjo sobre la cultura occidental y contienen una formulación significativa de las ideas del estoicismo maduro."De la brevedad de la vida", dedicado a Paulino -quien probablemente era padre de su segunda mujer-, fue compuesto en el año 49 o 50. En él, Séneca afirma que la vida, aunque lo pueda parecer, no es breve, sino que es el individuo quien hace que así lo sea.El tema principal de este ensayo es la vida y como los mortales nos dedicamos a vivir la misma. El autor enfatiza que nuestra vida sería más duradera si no dedicáramos tanto tiempo a asuntos vanos e inútiles. Su propósito es crear conciencia para que nuestras vidas tomen la perspectiva de vivir al máximo; y no se nos haga tarde cuando, queramos dar marcha atrás al momento de la muerte.
