Lettres à Lucilius

Book • 1954
The 'Lettres à Lucilius', also known as 'Moral Epistles' or 'Letters from a Stoic', are a series of philosophical letters written by Seneca the Younger during his retirement.

Addressed to Lucilius Junior, the procurator of Sicily, these letters cover various themes of Stoic philosophy such as the contempt of death, the importance of virtue, and how to live a virtuous life.

Each letter often begins with an observation from daily life and expands into broader philosophical discussions.

The letters are considered some of Seneca's most significant works and provide insights into ancient Roman life and Stoic thought.
