철학하는 영어 필사 : 세네카, 흔들림 없는 삶의 태도

루키우스안나이우스세네카

저자:루키우스안나이우스세네카(LuciusAnnaeusSeneca)
후기스토아철학대표사상가.고대로마철학을대표하는철학자이자정치인이며,시인이자비극작가이다.기원전4년에스파냐에서태어났으며로마에서자라면서수사학과변론술,철학을공부했는데특히스토아철학자들의영향을많이받았다.젊어서는천식과결핵을앓았고,우울증으로자살시도도여러차례했다.늦깎이로정계에입문하지만8년간코르시카섬에서유배생활을하게된다.다시로마로복귀할때본인의의지와는상관없이그에게맡겨진직책은어린네로의가정교사라는숙명적인자리였다.결국세네카는5년동안네로의가정교사로일하고,네로가황제가된후에는10년동안보좌역을맡게된다.
황제가된네로는처음에는선정을베풀었으나자신의어머니를죽인후로폭정이극에달한다.이에절망을느낀세네카는관직에서물러나학문과집필활동에몰두한다.하지만그것도잠시,황제암살계획에연루되었다는의심을받게되면서네로로부터즉각자결하라는명을받는다.결국세네카는자신의제자였던황제의명을받들어스스로정맥을끊고독약을마시며생을마감한다.
공포와광기가가득한시대적상황속에서부침이많은삶을살아온경험이세네카의철학적근간을만들었다.그는후기스토아철학을대표하는인물로서12편의에세이와9편의비극작품을남겼다.그가남긴저서들은널리애독되었는데,‘제2의세네카’로불리는몽테뉴와단테,루소,흄,『월든』의저자헨리데이비드소로,알랭드보통등세계의지성인들에게큰영향을끼쳤다.그의저서들은이천년이지난지금까지수많은사람에게삶의나침반이되어주고있다.
