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 focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on his discussion of how the things at the various hierarchically arranged degrees of being exist "for the sake of" (causa in Latin) other things. Plants, which are at the lowest level, are there for both human beings (as cultivated) and for animals, and the otehr non-rational animals exist for the sake of rational beings, which are human beings and the gods.

J.R.R. Tolkien sikere abban rejlett, hogy képes volt egy olyan Középföldét teremteni, mely beszippantja az olvasóit. 📚
Ha kezünkbe vesszük a Gyűrűk Urát, a Hobbitot, vagy a Szilmarilokat, egy élő, lélegző világban találjuk magunkat, mely olyan mélységekkel rendelkezik, hogy szinte igaznak tűnik.🌍

A Professzor titka a másodteremtés volt.✒️
De mi is ez pontosan? Milyen az igazi alkotás? És hogyan jelenik meg ez az egész Ilúvataron és az Olthatatlan Lángon keresztül?🔥
Tartsatok velünk!🧙‍♂️
