Seneca, On The Happy Life - Joy, Tranquility, And Happiness - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On The Happy Life It focuses specifically on the joy, tranquility, and happiness that, in his view, result from pursuing, possessing, and acting in accordance with the virtues, as the Stoics understand them. These states are something distinct from the pleasure that hedonistic philosophical approaches make the measure for human happiness.
