Seneca
Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and dramatist who wrote extensively on ethics and practical wisdom. Seneca's Letters to Lucilius offer accessible Stoic guidance on anger, grief, and living well. His position as Nero's advisor and eventual forced suicide demonstrate philosophy's collision with power. Seneca's readable style and practical advice make Stoicism accessible to modern readers.
