This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On Friendship Specifically it examines his discussion of a position on friendship that views it as unnecessary and even detrimental for the good life, the idea being that friendship requires us to care for others and to be involved in their affairs, whereas genuine happiness would be freedom from care and troubles.
