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 Duties, book 1, where he discusses whether a person can commit injustice through failing to act.  Cicero's answer is that this is indeed possible, and he discusses several motives for this, including the seemingly positive one of being exclusively concerned with philosophy.
