Sinopse

Seneca's "Of Consolation to Polybius" is a profound work that explores the themes of suffering, loss, and the human condition through the lens of Stoic philosophy. Written in a time marked by personal and political upheaval, Seneca employs a reflective and poetic prose style that intertwines rhetoric and philosophical inquiry. The dialogue, intended for his friend Polybius, serves both as a personal letter and a universal meditation on how to cope with misfortune, drawing heavily on tradition and the wisdom of Greek philosophical schools, amplifying themes of resilience and inner peace amid adversity. Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Stoic philosopher, statesman, and playwright, lived during the tumultuous reign of Emperor Nero. His experiences with loss, exile, and the complexities of human emotion deeply informed his writings. "Of Consolation to Polybius," crafted during a period of personal distress, reflects his commitment to using philosophical discourse as a means to alleviate suffering, revealing his capacity to merge personal grief with broader philosophical insights. I highly recommend "Of Consolation to Polybius" to readers seeking solace through literature. Seneca's eloquence and sincerity provide not only comfort but also a practical framework for confronting life's inevitable tribulations, making this work a timeless guide for those grappling with existential despair.

    To save both democracy and a decent economy, here's why it's crucial that Americans elect a truly progressive president. The 2020 presidential election will be pivotal for the credibility of government and for democracy itself, argues Robert Kuttner in this brief and compelling call to arms. Either we continue the twin slides into corrupt autocracy and corporate plutocracy? the course set in the past half century by Republican and Democratic presidents alike? or we elect a progressive Democrat in the mold of FDR. At stake is nothing less than the continued success of the American experiment in liberal democracy, which depends on a fairer distribution of life chances and a reduction of the financial industry's influence in the political sphere. Kuttner goes on to show convincingly that a progressive Democrat also has a better chance than a centrist of winning the presidency in the current political environment. A passionate book from one of our best political analysts, The Stakes will be the book to read ahead of the 2020 primaries.
