Cicero On The Ends Book 3 - Virtue And The Preferred Indifferents - 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 The Ends, which discusses problems and perspectives on happiness, ethics, and human nature Specifically it examines his discussion in book 3 about an issue in Stoic moral theory that is sometimes confusing for those studying Stoic ethics: how do these two ranges of value fit into each other - the virtues, which Stoics regard as the good, and the preferred indifferents, which are not strictly speaking good, but do possess value.
