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 Marcus Tullius Cicero's work On The Ends, specifically on his discussion in book 1 about two different conceptions of pleasure that the Epicureans distinguished - active or moving pleasures, and static pleasures resulting from the absence of pain.
