This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On Anger, book 2

It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 2 about one set of objections that Seneca considers and responds to in book 2, namely that being prone to anger involves a sort of nobility (generositas) or straightforwardness (simplicitas) on the part of the cultures, animals, or people who feel and act upon anger.
