    Great, Cicero and Seneca are my favourite stoics, find them the most relatable and practical

      Well, you do know that Cicero isn't a Stoic, but rather an eclectic who likes the Stoics

    I bet Seneca would've approved on the title of this work! Nice video.

    Cicero is so fascinating. Love his sparks ... lol. Great lecture professor Sadler. BTW if there is no C sound in Latin why do we still pronounce Cicero with c rather than k? Thank you

    • @GregoryBSadler
      @GregoryBSadler  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well, that's partly a function of Latin in the middle ages changing some of the consonant sounds from what they were in classical Latin.
      English is strange in that respect anyway - we pronounce "J' differently than many of the other European languages do, for example. . .

      Circe1 it's from church latin. There are other differences than just the c/k thing. Church latin has pronunciation rules that sound more italian.

    • @GregoryBSadler

      Yep, and church latin is coming from medieval latin. . .

    Interesting video mate. I was wondering, would you be free at any point to come onto my channel for an interview? I've had Massimo and Donald on so far and I think everyone would enjoy hearing your opinion on certain topics. All the best.
