Cicero On Duties Book 1 - Courage, Fear And Other Emotions - Sadler's Lectures

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 Cicero's claims that courage is not only concerned with the emotion of fear, but also the emotions of desire, pleasure, pain, and anger. This is the Stoic position on the emotions, and differs from other virtue ethics perspectives on courage, particularly those of Plato and Aristotle 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 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Cicero's On Duties - amzn.to/2xYHJLN (Amazon links are associate links.
