Cicero On Duties Book 1 - Temperance In Homes and Furnishings - Sadler's Lectures

Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

Categories:

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On Duties (De Officiis), which presents a largely Stoic view on ethics, virtues, relationships, and duties or moral obligations Specifically it examines the virtue of Temperance. One interesting aspect of this virtue he discusses has to do with our living quarters. Cicero focuses specifically upon houses, but there is no reason we cannot extend his advice, considerations, and guidelines to rentals or even to dorm rooms.
