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 his discussion in book 1 about the Epicurean evaluation of the virtues as only instrumentally good. Here we focus on the virtue of wisdom, deeded in order for a person to rightly understand and to choose between what is good and what is bad.
