Cicero, On The Ends Book 1 - Temperance, Desires, And Pleasures - 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 the Epicurean evaluation of the virtues as only instrumentally good. Here we focus on the virtue of temperance, which concerns a range of pleasures and desires, especially but not limited to those of food, intoxication, and sexual activity.
