Earlier this summer, I created seven new core concept videos on a selection of letters from the great Stoic philosopher Seneca, in which he ranges over a number of key topics, not just in Stoic, but also Aristotelian, Platonic, and other philosophical traditions. Each video focuses on one of the Letters on Ethics: To Lucilius.
Adding these to the three I had produced previously for my Intro to Philosophy students, the sequence now covers a number of key topics, distinctions, and arguments in metaphysics and ethics. Here is the set so far:
- Letter 33 - Stoicism, System, and Maxims
- Letter 58 - Types of Being
- Letter 65 - Stoic, Aristotelian, and Platonic Causes
- Letter 66 - Virtue and Kinds of Goods
- Letter 71 - On The Supreme Good
- Letter 74 - Virtue and Goods
- Letter 87 - The Simple Life
- Letter 89 - The Divisions of Philosophy
- Letter 113 - Virtue, Life, and the Unity of the Mind
- Letter 120 - Clarifying the Virtues
I will likely start shooting additional videos on Seneca's Letters later on this Fall.
