This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology
Specifically it examines the overall structure of the dialogue, and the characters involved, who are representatives of three important schools of ancient philosophy, Gaius Velleius the Epicurean, Quintus Lucilius Balbus the Stoic, and Gaius Cotta the Academic Skeptic.
