This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient doxographer Diogenes Laertes' Lives of the Philosophers book 6, The Life of Aristippus
It focuses specifically on the lifestyle, mindset, and priorities of Aristippus, displayed in his choices and actions. Philosophy made it possible for him to feel at ease in any situations, and to adopt the right attitudes towards wealth, power, and those who possess them
