Julian The Emperor, Oration 6 - Cynicism, Discipline, And Happiness - Sadler's Lectures

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 Julian's conception of what the genuine Cynic life looks like, namely a life of self-discipline, aimed at virtue, wisdom, and happiness. By contrast, many of the "Cynics" of his time are, according to Julian, off-base in their attention-seeking behavior.
