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 Cicero's short work, the Stoic Paradoxes, and discusses the claim that the Stoic school of philosophy made, that virtue is sufficient for happiness. He argues that virtue - and the pursuit and valuing of it - makes us self-sufficient, by contrast to what people take to be the goods of fortune.
