This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On Duties (De Officiis), which presents a largely Stoic view on ethics, virtues, relationships, and duties or moral obligations

Specifically it examines the virtue of Temperance. One main dimension of temperance or moderation is action and behavior, and Cicero provides three general guidelines for what temperance requires.

He also provides more specific discussion of aspects of temperance in actions and behavior, including the way in which one does things, the motivation of health rather than pleasure, and the importance of consistency.
