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 presentation of the Epicurean position on the divine by Velleius, who develops this in part by examining the preconceptions (proleipseis) of the gods that the Epicureans claim human beings have, as immortal and eternal, as inactive and blessedly happy, and interestingly as possessing a form like that of human beings.
