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 relationship between and foolishness on the one side, and freedom and slavery on the other side. According to the Stoics, only wise persons are genuinely free, and foolish people are inevitably enslaved in one manner or another.
