Description

Explore the complex connection between Roman philosophy and statecraft in Seneca: A Philosopher in Politics. Published by Oxford University Press as part of the Clarendon Paperbacks series, this scholarly work examines the tension between Seneca's personal writings and his career as a first-century Roman statesman. Miriam Griffin addresses the gaps in Seneca's prose by reconstructing his professional life through external sources and his own works, de Clementia and Apocolocyntosis. The book provides a deep look into his perspectives on political subjects, including wealth, provincial policy, slavery, and suicide. This text is an essential resource for students and readers interested in ancient Roman history and the intersection of ethics and governance.
