THE WISE FACING DEATH is the third chapter of the book HUMAN RELATIONS, by Seneca. In this video, New Acropolis teacher and volunteer LÚCIA HELENA GALVÃO comments on the topic discussed, suggesting practical applications of her teachings in our daily lives.
About the book "Human Relations" by the Stoic philosopher Seneca:
Seneca wrote this work in his old age, when he had retired from public life to his country house. This is a series of letters that he addressed to Lucílio, starting in July 62 AD, and corresponds to the brief period of less than three years of life that he still had left. In April 65 he cut his wrists by order of the despotic emperor Nero.
The letters dedicated to friendship ( • ESTOICISMO SÊNECA: SOBRE A AMIZADE ... ) are a prelude that inspires the disciple to cultivate a virtuous and complete friendship with the teacher, to then favor the development of deeper themes, those that will lead the way. friend wisdom.
