Seneca: Of Providence | Audiobook & Summary

Of Providence is a short essay in the form of a dialogue in six brief sections, written by the Latin philosopher Seneca in the last years of his life. He chose the dialogue form (as in the well-known Plato's works) to deal with the problem of the co-existence of the Stoic design of providence with the evil in the world.

If you had numbered these in the [Seneca: Of Providence - (+Summary)] title it would be easier to watch in order without missing any, and you would get more views.

I've spoken too soon. These are not only well read, they're well edited. The text flowing through the video during the reading creates comprehension. I feel very fortunate to have found these today.

[@VoxStoica]

Thanks for the feedback, resonanyfrequency. May I ask how you found them, did KZbin recommend them to you?

[@p.a.w.sthetravelinggamer6750]

@@VoxStoica I can state I found them by researching for an audiobook about Marcus's meditations. From there I have been listening to so many more. I appreciate you.

Oh yes this is glorious!! "Despise poverty : no man lives as poor as he was born Despise pain : either it will cease or you will cease Despise death : it either ends you or it takes you elsewhere Despise fortune : God has given her no weapon that can reach the mind " "God is beyond suffering evil, you are above it."

I know I'm picking at minutiae, but I find it interesting how Seneca changes back and forth from speaking of "God" to "the gods". Any case, I learned some new and usual things from listening to this.

@@VoxStoica i see! I wish you success in your efforts as i have 3 of senecas books and to hear them spoken is a refreshing change of narrative. You caught me off guard with the book of five rings.

[@TheNateWalking]

Xeronimo74 alt right? What a joke. Sargon has repeatedly debated with the “alt right,” which was what he was doing when he was kicked off of patreon. Alt right has become a catch-all boogie man term used to paint anyone out of step with social justice even in a small way. It is intellectually dishonest in the extreme.

I listen to your recorded books everyday anyway. Thanks again and i hope to see some sextus whenever you can, i posted a link to "against the logicians" on amazon.
