	De brevitate vitae (T)
		De brevitate vitae (T) I.1 Maior pars mortalium, Pauline, de naturae malignitate conqueritur, quod in exiguum aevi gignimur, quod haec tam velociter, tam rapide dati nobis temporis spatia decurrant, adeo ut exceptis admodum pacis ceteros in ipso vitae apparatu vita destituat.
		Cogitationes suas in longum ordinant; maxima porro vitae iactura dilatio est: illa primum quemque extrahit diem, illa eripit praesentia dum ulteriora promittit.
		Illos otiosos vocas quibus apud tonsorem multae horae transmittuntur, dum decerpitur si quid proxima nocte succrevit, dum de singulis capillis in consilium itur, dum aut disiecta coma restituitur aut deficiens hinc atque illinc in frontem compellitur?

		This holds particularly for such works as the so-called "dialogues" De otio and De brevitate vitae, which oscillate violently between images of everyday Roman life and the idealized philosophical life that Seneca presses upon his addressees.

		Publisher description for De otio ; De brevitate vitae / Seneca ; edited by G.D. Williams.
		This edition of Seneca's De otio and De brevitate vitae introduces undergraduates and more advanced students to the complex artistic method and provocative message of Senecan philosophy.
		De otio and De brevitate vitae balance each other by representing different but complementary aspects of Senecan/Stoic thought: in De otio, one's duty to the active life for the social good, in De brevitate vitae, one's duty to oneself in reclaiming life from the impositions made upon it from outside.

	History of Philosophy 11
		Thus, for example, the anatomai (containing anatomical charts), the peri phitôn (the existing treatise De Plantis is by Theophrastus), the politeiai (a collection of constitutions of states; the portion which treats of the Constitution of Athens has been discovered in recent years), and the Dialogues are among the lost works.
		It is equally certain that many portions of the collected works of Aristotle as we now possess them are of doubtful authenticity, while it is possible that a still larger number of books or portions of books are little more than lecture notes amplified by the pupils who edited them.
		Finally, according to Plato, the universal, as it exists apart from phenomena, is a full-blown univeral, endowed with the formal character of universality; according to Aristotle, the formal aspect of universality is conferred by the mind, and, therefore, the universal, as such, does not exist in individual things, but in the mind alone.

	Simon of Faversham (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Lohr 1973 and 1971 doubts that this and the other literal commentaries in the same manuscript (on the Topics and De anima) are genuine, but since Wolf 1966 has argued convincingly that the De anima commentary is genuine, it seems possible that this work is too.
		But if the De anima commentary in the same manuscript is by Faversham, as Wolf argues, then this very likely is, too.
		But he differs from Thomas and sides with Albert in taking the soul to be in itself a complete substance, which comes to inform the body, but is not itself a corporeal form, even in part.

	The Infidels - Aristotle
		Also, as it is a practical discipline rather than a theoretical one, he thought that in order to become "good," one could not simply study what virtue is; one must actually do virtuous deeds.
		Aristotle believed that eudaimonia is the end of life and that as long as a person is striving for goodness, good deeds will result from that struggle, making the person virtuous and therefore happy.
		His analysis of procreation is frequently criticised on the grounds that it presupposes an active, ensouling masculine element bringing life to an inert, passive, lumpen female element; it is on these grounds that some feminist critics refer to Aristotle as a misogynist.

		The short treatises De otio and De brevitate vitae balance each other by representing different but complementary aspects of Senecan philosophy: in De otio, one's duty to the 'active' life, in De brevitate vitae, one's duty to oneself in reclaiming life from the impositions made upon the self.
		In addition to its literary and linguistic emphasis, this edition tries to advertize the means by which Seneca conveys the attractions of his therapeutic 'philosophy'.

		Vedrai sfuggire di bocca agli uomini più potenti e più altolocati parole con le quali aspirano al tempo libero, lo lodano e lo antepongono a tutti i loro beni.
		La loro vita dunque precipita in un baratro e come non serve a nulla, qualsiasi quantità tu possa ficcarne dentro, se non vi è sotto qualcosa che la raccolga e la contenga
		Certamente miserevole è la condizione di tutti gli affaccendati, ma ancor più misera (quella) di coloro che non si danno da fare nemmeno per le loro faccende, dormono in relazione al sonno altrui, camminano secondo il passo altrui, a cui viene prescritto (come) amare e odiare, cose che sono le più spontanee di tutte.
