Seneca, On The Happy Life - Virtue And Wealth - Sadler's Lectures

from Sadler's Lectures · host Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On The Happy Life It focuses specifically on the relations between virtue and wealth, understood from a Stoic perspective. Unlike some schools who consider wealth to be a good though not the good, and other schools who believe that having wealth is incompatible with virtue, Seneca notes that the Stoics think that wealth is something external and indifferent, but which ought to be used rightly through virtue To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Seneca's On The Happy Life - amzn.to/3BrQD7T
