Julian The Emperor, Oration 6 - Cynicism As Universal Philosophy - 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 work of the ancient philosopher and ruler, Julian the Emperor (also known as Julian the Apostate), Oration 6, "To The Uneducated Cynics". It focuses specifically on his assertion that Cynicism, properly understood, is really a universal philosophy. This would take it beyond the distinctive boundaries of the Cynic school and its practitioners or adherents of his time To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 1500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Julian's Orations - https://amzn.to/3ei1C6b
