Resumen

"Moral Letters to Lucilius" is a highly modern work in terms of both its generic complexity and its approach, which resembles a self-help treatise written in the twenty-first century. Seneca bases his letters on stoic approaches that may be very useful to today’s society, which lives facing outwards, frightened and stressed. The objective is to attain a moral freedom and an inner independence that removes the fear of death, among other benefits.
