On the Happy Life (Illustrated) De Vita Beata

<i>De Vita Beata</i> or <b>On the Happy Life</b> is a dialogue written by Seneca the Younger around the year 58 AD. It was intended for his older brother Gallio, to whom Seneca also dedicated his dialogue entitled <i>De Ira</i> (On Anger). It is divided into 28 chapters that present the moral thoughts of Seneca at their most mature. Seneca explains that the pursuit of happiness is the pursuit of reason - reason meant not only using logic, but also understanding the processes of nature. <p>This new edition of <b>On the Happy Life</b> from Enhanced Media includes an introduction by William Smith.</p>
