Sinossi

L. Annaeus Seneca on Benefits is a profound exploration of the moral dimensions of giving and receiving, delving into the philosophy of benefaction through a Stoic lens. Written in the first century AD, Seneca's treatise intricately examines the nature of benefits, positing a complex interplay between the giver and the receiver. His eloquent prose, characterized by rhetorical flair and philosophical rigor, situates the text within the broader context of Stoic philosophy, where ethics and personal virtue are paramount. Seneca articulates the pitfalls of selfish philanthropy and emphasizes the necessity of genuine intention, inviting readers to reflect deeply on the implications of their social interactions. Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a renowned Stoic philosopher and statesman, lived during a tumultuous period of Roman history, marked by political intrigue and moral decay. His personal experiences with wealth, power, and exile shaped his philosophical inquiries, prompting him to explore themes of morality and virtue comprehensively. Seneca's background as a trusted advisor to Emperor Nero, along with his own struggles with the dichotomy of public life and private integrity, amplifies the significance of his insights in this text. This work is highly recommended for both scholars of Stoic philosophy and general readers alike. It offers timeless wisdom on the art of giving, challenging us to transcend superficial transactions and embrace a philosophical approach to our interactions. Seneca's reflections on the ethical dimensions of benefits not only enlighten but resonate deeply with contemporary discourses on altruism and social responsibility.

The Unraveling - Reflections on...

Bob Bauer, Jon Meacham

Essential for anyone interested in modern American politics, get the book that former President Barack Obama on X calls "a deeply thoughtful book" and says, "couldn't be a more timely read." 
 
 
 
Part memoir, part rumination on the declining moral compass of the American political class, The Unraveling is the first book to place restoring political ethics at the center of the renewal of American democracy. Politics is a brutal game, but Bauer asks where does the line fall between the "hardball" of politics and attacks on the very foundation of democracy? Looking back on foryt-six years in the political arena, Bauer tries to better grasp what has gone wrong and to understand what shaped his own decisions and actions. He offers anecdotes, perspectives, and insights that are vitally relevant in our world today, including efforts in 2020 (and 2024) to defend our democratic system of elections from attack and distrust, and the struggles with social media, such as Meta, to combat disinformation in a post-truth politics. He writes about the various personal experiences along the way—the highs, the lows, and the absurd. Bauer presents a smart and serious look at our political culture and the role that he has played in shaping it. The Unraveling will be essential for anyone interested in American politics of the last fifty years—and the next.
