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 argument that the Epicurean Velleius puts forward for the existence of the gods, often called the "argument from common consent". The Epicurean version of this argument also involves one of the key ideas that Epicurus himself introduced, which is called proleipsis in Greek, and typically translated as "preconceptions", which all human beings have and share in common.
