Marcus Aurelius, Meditations - Stoic Providence Or Epicurean Atoms - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher and Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius' work, Meditations (or To Myself) It focuses specifically on a set of passages in books 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 that deal with a common recurring theme, namely that either the universe is structured and organized providentially (the Stoic perspective), or events in the universe are causally connected but random (the Epicurean perspective).
