This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Moral Virtue
This episode focuses specifically on his discussion about how virtue is a mean, which bears some similarities with the Aristotelian position on the matter, but also several significant differences of emphasis
