Excerpt from Seneca
Simo le magnifiche apologie degli amici ed ammi ratori devoti? E parrebbe giustizia a noi, che i posteri giudicassero della moralità di uomini che furono nostri contemporanei, ad es. Di Gladstone, di Bismarck, di Garibaldi, solo da qualche libello insidioso scagliato contro di essi Il che non dico perchè reputi che tra questi uomini e quello antico, di cui parlo io, sia possibile un paragone; ma solo per afi°ermare un principio di equa prudenza e per dichiarare inquinate le fonti dell'accusa. Seneca, se non fu un uomo moralmente perfetto, fu però in gran parte vittima di quella grande menzogna convenzionale, che si chiama la giustizia della storia.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex character of Seneca, a Roman philosopher and statesman who served as a tutor and advisor to Emperor Nero. Despite his reputation as a virtuous and wise figure, Seneca has been subject to enduring accusations of hypocrisy and corruption. The author offers a fresh perspective on Seneca's life and writings, challenging long-held assumptions and examining the historical and cultural context that shaped Seneca's actions. Through meticulous analysis of Seneca's writings and historical records, the book sheds light on the complexities of his moral philosophy, which emphasized the pursuit of virtue and the rejection of material wealth. The author argues that Seneca's so-called hypocrisy stemmed from the inherent contradictions between his philosophical ideals and the realities of political life in ancient Rome. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
