This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Ends , which discusses problems and perspectives on happiness, ethics, and human nature

Specifically it examines on his discussion in book 1 about two different conceptions of pleasure that the Epicureans distinguished - active or moving pleasures, and static pleasures resulting from the absence of pain.
