They give an attractive, full picture of the social and moral outlook of an ancient Stoic thinker intimately involved in the governance of the Roman empire in the mid first century of the Christian era. A general introduction describes Seneca's life and career and explains the fundamental ideas underlying the Stoic moral, social and political philosophy that informs the essays.

Moral Essays: De consolatione ad Marciam. De vita beata. De otio. De tranquillitate animi. De brevitate vitae. De consolatione ad Polybium. De consolatione ad Helviam by Lucius Annaeus Seneca Pdf

In Moral Essays, Seneca (c. 4-65 CE) expresses his Stoic philosophy on providence, steadfastness, anger, forgiveness, consolation, the happy life, leisure, tranquility, the brevity of life, and gift-giving. Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, born at Corduba (Cordova) circa 4 BCE, of a prominent and wealthy family, spent an ailing childhood and youth at Rome in an aunt's care. He became famous in rhetoric, philosophy, money-making, and imperial service. After some disgrace during Claudius' reign he became tutor and then, in 54 CE, advising minister to Nero, some of whose worst misdeeds he did not prevent. Involved (innocently?) in a conspiracy, he killed himself by order in 65. Wealthy, he preached indifference to wealth; evader of pain and death, he preached scorn of both; and there were other contrasts between practice and principle. We have Seneca's philosophical or moral essays (ten of them traditionally called Dialogues)-on providence, steadfastness, the happy life, anger, leisure, tranquility, the brevity of life, gift-giving, forgiveness- and treatises on natural phenomena. Also extant are 124 epistles, in which he writes in a relaxed style about moral and ethical questions, relating them to personal experiences; a skit on the official deification of Claudius, Apocolocyntosis (in Loeb number 15); and nine rhetorical tragedies on ancient Greek themes. Many epistles and all his speeches are lost. His moral essays are collected in Volumes I-III of the Loeb Classical Library's ten-volume edition of Seneca.

Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... ESSAY I A DISSERTATION ON THE ORIGIN AND EXTENT OF CIVIL AUTHORITY Ixryypov Ti Ttokk ia-rl vaa. -- Plato, Politicus, 302 A Part '1/ -- Exposition I. I propose, first to set forward' my own views, afterwards to criticise the views of others. I shall treat of.the 'origin' of civil authority theoretically, then historically: thenI, 0ome to the 'extent' of-civil authority. - ."Having exposed my owh,"Ivproceed to the, discussion of other opinions, 'in the cours(c)/ tf, which discussion my own thought, such .as it is, will more fully appear. C 2. Civil authority is the supreme power of command in a perfect community of the temporal order. A perfect community is selfsufficient, airdpKrjs. It is not referred to any other community as a part to the whole. It takes the law from no other: it is a community with sovereignty inherent somewhere within itself. It supplies, or is capable of supplying, all its own earthly needs. Were the rest of mankind to perish, it could still subsist, and flourish in some sort. Such a perfect community is the State. The State may be either a city or a nation: a city with a small adjacent territory, as the cities of ancient Greece and of mediaeval Italy, or a nation, as States commonly are now. Civil authority is supreme, final, ultimate, in a State as such. 3. Self-sufficiency, or the management by a community-of Its own affairs in perfect independence .of laiK neighbours, is a position attained by. degrees, and these degrees shade into one another. The United - States have been termed"" a sovereign assembly of sovereign States.!'..-But the war of forty-years ago evinced the conclusion that the Uniojr alone is sovereign, not the individual States' that compose it. The question.-whether.

A Treatise of Legal Philosophy and General Jurisprudence by Fred D. Miller Jr.,Carrie-Ann Biondi Pdf

The first-ever multivolume treatment of the issues in legal philosophy and general jurisprudence, from both a theoretical and a historical perspective. The work is aimed at jurists as well as legal and practical philosophers. Edited by the renowned theorist Enrico Pattaro and his team, this book is a classical reference work that would be of great interest to legal and practical philosophers as well as to jurists and legal scholar at all levels. The work is divided in two parts. The theoretical part (published in 2005), consisting of five volumes, covers the main topics of the contemporary debate; the historical part, consisting of six volumes (Volumes 6-8 published in 2007; Volumes 9 and 10, published in 2009; Volume 11 published in 2011 and Volume 12 forthcoming in 2015), accounts for the development of legal thought from ancient Greek times through the twentieth century. The entire set will be completed with an index. Volume 6: A History of the Philosophy of Law from the Ancient Greeks to the Scholastics 2nd revised edition, edited by Fred D. Miller, Jr. and Carrie-Ann Biondi Volume 6 is the first of the Treatise’s historical volumes (following the five theoretical ones) and is dedicated to the philosophers’ philosophy of law from ancient Greece to the 16th century. The volume thus begins with the dawning of legal philosophy in Greek and Roman philosophical thought and then covers the birth and development of European medieval legal philosophy, the influence of Judaism and the Islamic philosophers, the revival of Roman and Christian canon law, and the rise of scholastic philosophy in the late Middle Ages, which paved the way for early-modern Western legal philosophy. This second, revised edition comes with an entirely new chapter devoted to the later Scholastics (Chapter 14, by Annabel Brett) and an epilogue (by Carrie-Ann Biondi) on the legacy of ancient and medieval thought for modern legal philosophy, as well as with updated references and indexes.
