Seneca's DialoguesÑas his epistolary essays have traditionally been knownÑ capture the full range of the Roman thinkerÕs philosophical interests, in particular Stoicism and his unique interpretation of it. SenecaÕs writings on subjects such as the shortness of life, anger, tranquility of mind, and consolations for grief on the loss of a loved one, are strikingly applicable to our modern world. The Complete Dialogues are collected here: On the Shortness of Life (De Brevitate Vitae), Of a Happy Life (De Vita Beata), Of Providence (De Providentia), On the Firmness of the Wise Man (De Constantia Sapientis), Of Anger (De Ira),
