This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Ends, which discusses problems and perspectives on happiness, ethics, and human nature

Specifically it examines his discussion in book 3 focused on the Stoic conception of "indifferents" (adiaphora), which are neither good nor bad. These encompass matters such as life and death, health and disease, wealth and poverty, and pain and pleasure. None of these make a significant contribution to happiness or to virtue as Stoics understand them.
