Sinopsis	ON BENEFITS "He that does good to another man does good also to himself; not only in the consequence, but in the very act of doing it; for the conscience of well-doing is an ample reward". The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as "On Benefits". However, it is more usefully titled "On Favours", because this is what it is about: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions. Seneca is concerned with demonstrating that while such exchanges can be straightforward and beneficial to both parties, often there are pitfalls and hidden complications that, eventually, result in problems. Though some centuries later Shakespeare summed it up concisely with Polonius's warning: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be", Seneca understands that in all levels and activities of society, benefits or favours play an undoubtedly crucial role. This was certainly true of Roman society, but little has changed since. Seneca deals with the subject in detail, considering the purposes of the role of the giver, of which "kindness", he says, is an important aspect-but not the only one by any means. Similarly, the role and attitude of the receiver, plays its part-and "gratitude" is again only one response. Seneca's background as a Stoic underpins his approach, so he warns against the inappropriate giving and receiving of benefits, which extend far beyond just material goods: it includes influence, wives, patronage and all manner of vice and immorality. In short, Seneca points out that the giving and receiving of favours can be, and often is, a pernicious and dangerous affair, resulting in later disaster. Something to be exercised with caution. LUCIO ANNEO SÉNECA Lucio Anneo Séneca, llamado Séneca el Joven para distinguirlo de su padre, fue un filósofo, político, orador y escritor romano conocido por sus obras de carácter moral. Edad recomendada: Adultos. SENECA LUCIO ANNEO Córdoba, 4 a.C. - Roma, 65 d.C. Fue un destacado filósofo, político, orador y escritor romano. Figura predominante de la política romana durante los reinados de Claudio y Nerón, fue uno de los senadores más admirados, influyentes y respetados. Entre los años 54 y 62, durante los primeros años del reinado de su joven pupilo Nerón, gobernó de facto el Imperio romano. Como escritor, Séneca pasó a la historia como uno de los máximos representantes del estoicismo. Su obra constituye la principal fuente escrita de filosofía estoica que se ha conservado hasta la actualidad. Abarca tanto obras de teatro como diálogos filosóficos, tratados de filosofía natural y cartas. Usando un estilo accesible y alejado de tecnicismos, delineó las principales características del estoicismo tardío, del que junto con Epicteto y Marco Aurelio está considerado su máximo exponente.
