Cicero On The Ends Book 3 - Primary Impulses Of Human Nature - 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 3 about what he calls the "primary impulses" or principles of human nature, present from infancy onward. These involve self-perception and affection, a desire to continue life and for the integrity of one's body. These plan an important role in Stoic ethics, as Cato presents it.
