Von der göttlichen Vorsehung (De Providentia)

by Lucius Annaeus Seneca

In "On Divine Providence", the Roman philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca addresses the question of why bad things happen to good people. Seneca argues that the universe is governed by a divine providence that ultimately works for the good of all, even if we cannot always understand it. He offers a Stoic perspective on the problem of evil, emphasizing the importance of accepting our fate and living in accordance with nature.
