Letters From a Stoic, by Seneca
Seneca's Letters is one of the foundational books of Stoicism along with Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and Discourses by Epictetus. Both Meditations and Discourses have been well represented by fine press versions but Seneca's Letters has not received the fine press treatment (to my knowledge). A well crafted version of this book would be timely given all the turmoil and economic worries in the world right now. Seneca's advocation of simple living, equanimity, and moderation offers a wise way to deal with the problems of our time.
This proposal received 52 yes votes in the first round.
The proposer has been notified of this discussion thread, and may receive help or advice in expanding the proposal.
ADVISORY BOARD NOTE: While not "near impossible," the Advisory Board is concerned about the excessive length of the complete letters, and strongly urges a selection rather than the whole corpus.
