内容简介
塞内加短篇论著的合集——论愤怒、论生命之短暂、论心之宁静、论天意、论智者、论幸福生活、论闲暇——外加致尼禄的《论仁慈》。
背景与流传
“对话集”是沿袭的旧称,但它们并非对话:它们是设有一位隐含听者的论文,也正是罗马斯多亚主义转为实践的形态。《论愤怒》是一部道德心理学著作,至今仍作如是读;《论生命之短暂》主张:我们并不缺少时间,是我们把它糟蹋了。《论仁慈》最叫人不安,也最能说明问题:约作于公元五五年,其时塞内加是这位年轻皇帝的师傅兼谋士;此文向权力解释,宽仁何以于权力自身有利。它记录了一位哲人如何自内部试图影响一位君主;而其后发生的事——尼禄终究下令赐他自尽——也正是它值得一读的理由之一。
这是编辑性背景,不是可引用的来源:与作品本身的段落不同,这些说明无法在语料库中核对。
_TRANSLATED BY_ AUBREY STEWART, M.A. LATE FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE LONDON — GEORGE BELL AND SONS, YORK STREET COVENT GARDEN 1889 CHISWICK PRESS :—C. WHITTINGHAM AND CO., TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE PREFACE. I can say little by way of preface to Seneca’s “Minor Dialogues” which I have not already expressed in my preface to “De Beneficiis,” except that the “Minor Dialogues” seem to me to be composed in a gloomier key than either the “De Beneficiis” or “De Clementia,” and probably were written at a time when the author had already begun to experience the ingratitude of his imperial pupil. Some of the Dialogues are dated from Corsica, Seneca’s place of exile, which he seems to have found peculiarly uncomfortable, although he remarks that there are people who live there from choice. Nevertheless, mournful as they are in tone, these Dialogues have a certain value, because they teach us what was meant by Stoic philosophy in the time of the Twelve Caesars. I have only to add that the value of my work has been materially enhanced by the kindness of the Rev. Professor J. E. B. Mayor, who has been good enough to read and correct almost all the proof sheets of this volume. AUBREY STEWART. _London,_ 1889. CONTENTS.
