Article · Deutsch

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, genannt Seneca der Jüngere (* etwa im Jahre 1 in Corduba; † 65 n. Chr. in der Nähe Roms), war ein römischer Philosoph, Dramatiker, Naturforscher, Politiker und als Stoiker einer der meistgelesenen Schriftsteller seiner Zeit. Seine Reden, die ihn bekannt gemacht hatten, sind verloren gegangen. Wenngleich er in seinen philosophischen Schriften Verzicht und Zurückhaltung empfahl, gehörte Seneca zu den reichsten und mächtigsten Männern seiner Zeit. Vom Jahr 49 an war er der maßgebliche Erzieher bzw. Berater des späteren Kaisers Nero. Wohl um diesen auf seine künftigen Aufgaben vorzubereiten, verfasste er eine Denkschrift darüber, warum es weise sei, als Herrscher Milde walten zu lassen (De clementia). Im Jahre 55 bekleidete Seneca ein Suffektkonsulat. Sein Agieren als Politiker stand teils im Widerspruch zu den von ihm in seinen philosophischen Schriften vertretenen ethischen Grundsätzen, was ihm bereits bei Zeitgenossen Kritik eintrug. Senecas Bemühen, Nero in seinem Sinne zu beeinflussen, war kein dauerhafter Erfolg beschieden. Zuletzt beschuldigte ihn der Kaiser der Beteiligung an der Pisonischen Verschwörung und befahl ihm die Selbsttötung. Diesem Befehl kam Seneca notgedrungen nach.
