This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 113
It focuses specifically on his discussions of a common Stoic position which he himself considers mistaken - the notion that the virtues (wisdom, justice, courage, temperance) are themselves living creatures (animalia) within the mind (animus). He presents and criticizes two common Stoic arguments for this position, and then provides a number of arguments of his own against the position
