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 he terms four sources of the right (honestum). These turn out to be the four cardinal virtues - Wisdom, Justice, Courage, and Temperance.
