Seneca, Letter 71 - The Supreme Good

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 71

It focuses specifically on his discussion of the supreme or highest good for human beings, which is what is honorable (honestum), or virtue. Virtue is what renders other things that are good, good - like good actions, good people, and so on. He also discusses a Stoic paradox, namely that all goods, insofar as they are good, are equal - and how virtue provides a measure for everything else.
