On Anger

Book Review

Seneca's «On Anger» is a profound philosophical exploration of the nature of anger and its destructive consequences. Seneca views anger as one of the most dangerous passions, capable of destroying both individuals and society. He offers practical advice on managing anger and emphasizes the importance of self-control and rationality. Critics note that Seneca's work remains relevant in today's world, where the issue of emotion management is still significant. His arguments and examples, drawn from everyday life and history, make the book not only a philosophical treatise but also a practical guide to improving personal and social life. Some critics point to Seneca's strict Stoic approach, which may seem overly demanding, yet his ideas on the importance of reason and self-control resonate with many readers.
