Seneca, one of the greatest representatives of Stoicism, addresses in 'On the Happy Life' some of the central questions of this doctrine, such as the ideal of human happiness. This volume brings together several of his most influential essays, including 'On the Shortness of Life', 'On the Constancy of the Wise', and 'On the Happy Life', along with selected letters from his 'Moral Letters to Lucilius'. Through these texts, written during his time as a ruler and his subsequent exile, the author explores fundamental questions of ancient ethics, such as the relationship between man and nature, virtue, and the pursuit of happiness, concepts that remain remarkably relevant today.
