Description
• On Benefits (originally De Beneficiis) is the second essay (after On Mercy) of Seneca written between the last years of politic activity and the first years of his retirement to private life (58-62) paraphrased in this edition by sir Roger L'Estrange.
• The Philosopher deals with the problems of charity and gratidude throught a detailed case study rich in examples.
• Seneca focuses on the practice of spontaneous charity that brings joy to others and to the benefactor who must not lose heart in the face of ingratitude caused by selfishness, self-love or envy.
• At the end of every chapter there is an empty page left to write your reflections about what you've read, a great stoic habit that you can develop in your everyday life.
