This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient letter collection called the Cynic Epistles. This one looks at those letters (most likely falsely) attributed to Crates, the third scholarch of the Cynic school. Specifically it focuses on the Cynic practice of begging or asking for resources from other people. In the letters, a number of distinctions get made about who one should beg and receive from and why, and conversely who one shouldn't ask or take from. Begging was one distinctive feature of lived Cynic philosophy.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient letter collection called the Cynic Epistles. This one looks at those letters (most likely falsely) attributed to Crates, the third scholarch of the Cynic school. Specifically it focuses on the notion of "toil" (ponos, ponein) in Cynic philosophy and practice. The Cynics argue that toil, that is actively engaging in work and enduring what one encounters, is what leads a person to development of the virtues, which include wisdom, justice, temperance, and courage. Our engagement with toil is both voluntary and involuntary, and if we do not choose the right sorts of toil, because we want to avoid it, we will have to deal with other sorts of toil as unpleasant consequences To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase the Cynic Epistles - https://amzn.to/42qi3nF

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient letter collection called the Cynic Epistles. This one looks at those letters (most likely falsely) attributed to Crates, the third scholarch of the Cynic school. Specifically it focuses on the nature of human happiness (eudaimonia), which for the Cynics involves freedom and virtue. Crates discusses or references a number of the virtues, including wisdom, justice, temperance, and courage, as well as vices opposed to these. He also briefly examines how these virtues are developed through toil (ponos), self-control and endurance, as well as how the vices develop, in significant part through bad decision-making and pursuit of pleasures To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase the Cynic Epistles - https://amzn.to/42qi3nF
