Cicero, On The Ends Book 1 - Pleasure, Pain, and Moral Virtue - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Ends , which discusses problems and perspectives on happiness, ethics, and human nature Specifically it examines his discussion in book 1 about how Epicureans view virtue and vice. For them, virtue is not something to be desired or valued for its own sake, but rather for the pleasure it produces or provides, or for the pain it alleviates or prevents.
