This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Marcus Tullius Cicero's work On The Nature Of The Gods, specifically on the criticisms made in book 1 by the academic skeptic Cotta against the Epicurean argument from common consent made earlier by Velleius.

Thank you.

You’re welcome!

the argument that people that commit sacrilege must not believe in god(s) doesn't seem very good to me. It could mean that they just have a different view of the gods/sacrilege than the rest of the community, or that in their "special" case it will be forgiven.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Yes. Nobody says they’re all great arguments
