This Core Concept video focuses on Plutarch's work How To Tell A Flatterer From A Friend, and specifically on the importance of frankness of speech (in ancient Greek, parrhesia) within genuine friendship. Plutarch argues that we all need friends not only to be pleasant to us and praise us, but also to point out where we are going wrong in our attitudes, words, and actions. He provides advice about how and when we ought to exercise this frankness of speech If you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!
