Epicurus, Principal Doctrines - The Value Of Friendship - 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 hedonist philosopher Epicurus' Principal Doctrines (as well as the Letter to Menoecius and the Vatican Sayings) Specifically it examines his discussion of Friendship, which he considers not only to be useful in terms of providing security from pains and fears, and to be useful for providing pleasure -- but also in some cases a good valuable for its own sake.
