This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's Letters, this one looking at Letter 74

It focuses specifically on his discussion of the nature of virtue according to the Stoics, and why virtue is the genuine good, the "honorable" (honestum). According to him, those who view other things like wealth, pleasure, honor, or the body as goods are mistaken and set themselves up for misery by subjecting themselves to fortune.
