On the Unshakableness of Wisdom - On Retreat
Seneca (towards 4 BC - AD 65): In addition to being a statesman and philosopher, he is one of the most important rhetoric masters and tragedians in Roman history. Seneca, whom his father wanted to raise as a politician and orator, dealt with state affairs for a while and eventually devoted himself to his favorite job, namely philosophy. He wrote many thought texts, letters and tragedies containing Stoic teachings.
In On the Unshakableness of Wisdom, based on the experiences of Cato, whom he considers to be a wise man, he deals with the impossibility of a wise person being treated unfairly or insulted. In On Retreat, which is thought to be the continuation of his work called De Vita Beata, he reveals with Stoic examples the obligation of the wise to withdraw into himself and contemplate. On the Unshakableness of Wisdom meets the readers for the first time in Turkish.
