Cicero On Duties Book 1 - Guidelines For Benevolence - 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 a set of guidelines that ought to govern our dispositions, choices, and actions of benevolence or beneficence. These include criteria such as whether the person deserves our generosity, the need to remain within our own means and that we do not do harm to other persons with our benevolence.
