What would you do if you could get away with anything?
Plato's famous thought experiment cuts straight to the heart of human nature. If you had a ring that made you invisible—if you could take, do, or have anything without consequence—what would you do? More importantly, what should you do?
Michael explores what the Stoics believed about this thought experiment and what it reveals about their philosophy.
