Z rozważań Seneki o Bogu
Budzanowska, Dominika (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2012)
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, called the Younger or Philosopher, is the most important figure of the Roman Imperial Period. This Stoic philosopher made a lasting contribution to Stoicism. Seneca lived during difficult times and was engaged in politics during the reign of his pupil, Cesar Nero. Seneca agreed with earlier Stoics that God is corporeal and is a part of the world. Seneca discussed virtue as the ideal of “becoming like God” and thought that the virtuous man is an equal to God. Therefore, he claimed that we have to learn virtues. However, in this case, we have the help of God, who gives us an intellect when we are born. Seneca reminds us that life is not easy and only the indications of philosophy concerning virtue preserve us from unjust fortune.
