Take classes with me - https://reasonio.teachable.com/ This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker. This Core Concept video focuses on Marcus Tullius Cicero's work On The Ends, specifically on his discussion in book 1 about the Epicurean evaluation of the virtues as only instrumentally good. Here we focus on the virtue of justice. Epicureans value justice partly for instrumental reasons, like keeping oneself from getting into trouble, or fearing that one's unjust actions will be uncovered and punished. but they also view injustice as involving a conflict within the human person, which stands in the way of a tranquil life.
