Seneca, Letter 63 - Grief For Lost Friends - Sadler's Lectures

from Sadler's Lectures · host Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 63, in which Seneca tells a friend who is grieving after the death of another friend that it is reasonable for him to grieve and even to cry tears, but that he should keep from excessively grieving. Seneca provides advice about how to regard and make use of the memories one has of friends, why one ought to value and take advantage of the time one has with friends, why one should have more than one friend, and why replacing a lost friend can be good when grieving To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Seneca's Letters - amzn.to/2Myx6os
