Cicero On Duties Book 1 - Beneficence And Justice - 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 Duties (De Officiis), which presents a largely Stoic view on ethics, virtues, relationships, and duties or moral obligations Specifically it examines two main divisions or parts of the virtue of justice. There is justice in the strict sense, and then there is beneficence (beneficientia) - or quite literally "doing good to others". This includes generosity (liberalitas) and kindness (benignitas).
