Seneca, Letter 66 - Virtue And Kinds Of Goods - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 66

It discusses how two key Stoic ideas about virtue and goods come together. One of these is the paradoxical assertion that all goods are equal, and the other is that there are three kinds of goods. Seneca addresses this by arguing that virtue is the highest good which makes other things good, that virtue as such is always equal, never greater or lesser, and that the circumstances or matters in which virtue is exercised can vary, giving us different kinds of goods.
