    • Seneca and slavery

  • Good evening!
  • Today, I had to translate a text about slavery by Seneca in school.
  • It is one of his numerous famous letters he addressed to an imaginary apprentice called Lucilius.
  • I want to briefly give you an idea of what Seneca wrote because I think it is quite interesting.
    • In his opinion, every human being is made up from the same semen and therefore everyone is free and equal.
  • Then again, he believed in fortune and said that everyone is a slave of it - so no one is free.
    • In addition to that, everyone has a person above him, therefore is an inferior.
  • He demanded that slaves are being well treated and given respect.
  • Seneca's opinion is very "modern" we would probably say.
    • It is interesting in the context of Roman culture where slaves later were given civic liberties and considered as equal human beings.
