Epistulae morales ad Lucilium

Book • 65
The letters, written between approximately 63 AD and 65 AD, are addressed to Lucilius Junior, the procurator of Sicily.

They are not strictly personal correspondence but rather open letters intended for a wider audience.

Seneca discusses various aspects of Stoic philosophy, including the importance of virtue, the fleeting nature of life, and how to deal with daily challenges.

The letters often start with observations of everyday incidents and expand into broader philosophical discussions.

Seneca emphasizes moderation, the importance of living in the present, and the need to cultivate inner strength and wisdom.
