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 what the virtue of Wisdom consists in, and how it is one of the four sources of the right and of our duties.
