Dream Of Scipio: The Out-Of-Body Experience, The Nature Of Glory, And The Immortality Of The Soul
Published 10 years, 5 months ago
Description
This lecture discusses Cicero's visionary essay "The Dream of Scipio" which I included at the end of my book "Stoic Paradoxes."
The topics of the essay are:
1. The qualities that make a great man.
2. The fleeting and futile nature of all earthly glory.
3. The immortality of our souls.
4. The right path to eternal glory.
This essay is for me a personal favorite, and a rich storehouse for study and reflection.
