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
