China has "Confucius said" and the West has "Seneca said".
A Stoic classic that is as famous as "Meditations" and a "philosophy of diagnosis and treatment" that has lasted for two thousand years! Wang Shi once recited recommendations on the program "The Reader"!
"On the Shortness of Life" contains five short stories by Seneca, a famous thinker of the Stoic school in ancient Rome, namely "On the Shortness of Life", "On the Peace of Mind", "On Providence", "On Leisure" and "On a Happy Life". Almost all of these five short stories are letters written by Seneca to his relatives and friends, in which he comforts his relatives and friends. The themes involve happiness, fear, tranquility and other human emotions as well as thoughts in the face of disaster. They express the attitude of Stoic wise men who have the courage to face the shortness of life and the impermanence of fate. Seneca was very good at heart-to-heart conversations. He always started from the other person's situation and talked about it in depth, which made people suddenly enlightened. By reading the admonitions of philosophers thousands of years ago, readers can better understand the Stoic school's ideological characteristics of not being afraid of setbacks, not afraid of fate, obeying destiny, and being indifferent to desires, and learn the philosopher's way of thinking and dealing with the world.
Reader comments
A good book, although some of the views may be a bit radical, but most of the places are more inspiring. It allows people to see the author's strong logical ability, and he is worthy of being a philosopher and orator.
I seemed to be hearing the speech of a eloquent orator. He may not be absolutely correct, but he must be relevant to his subject. He may not be absolutely correct, but he must refute different viewpoints. He loves those he loves more and hates those he hates more. His eloquence may be because he has held it in for too long, or it may be because his philosophical thoughts are like this. He kept shouting, and kept shouting, like cicadas chirping in summer. Some people find it pleasant, others find it noisy.
The writing is beautiful, the reasoning is profound, and it is a masterpiece full of classical atmosphere.
After reading it, this author is Philosophy Du Wei [face covering]. Philosophy is super invincible and awesome in his eyes. Anything that has nothing to do with philosophy is a waste of time. It's too radical, but some metaphors are indeed worth thinking about. He has some interesting things, but he is very poisonous [face covering]. His personal thoughts are very strong and very radical.
Very profound and benefited a lot
It is worthy of everyone's careful reading, understanding and practice.
The content is detailed, please clarify!
Have a pleasant afternoon, watch it again and again
Philosophy, the wisdom of our ancestors!
I learned a lot of ideas and refreshed my mind.
The author's logic is really admirable
Eastern Buddhist scriptures and Western philosophy, one is subtle and gentle, the other is heart-piercing, transparent and straightforward.
The book contains noble thoughts that transcend the trivial matters of life. It is my favorite among the many philosophy books I have found!
It's so sharp, I felt like I was being comprehended as I read it, so I'm going to read it again.
