СЕНЕКА ЛУЦИЙ
Seneca Lucius Annaeus (4 B.C.–65 A.D.)
Prominent exponent of Roman stoicism, the tutor of Nero who subsequently sentenced him to death. His numerous works and the biggest of them, Epistolae morales ad Lucilium, have been preserved in the original. Seneca adhered to the pantheism of the Greek stoics, i.e., regarded the world as a single material and rational whole and elaborated chiefly moral problems which, when properly solved, enable man to attain calm and undisturbed spirit (see Ataraxia). He sought to link his ethics, individualist in the main, with the tasks of society and the state. The ethics of Seneca exerted a great influence on the Christian ideology. Engels called Seneca the uncle of Christianity.
