Tato série zkoumá hluboké filozofické otázky týkající se individuální autonomie a kolektivní existence. Zaměřuje se na způsoby, jakými lidé formují sami sebe a své vztahy s ostatními prostřednictvím ctností jako je odvaha a pravdomluvnost. Série se opírá o starověké tradice a ukazuje, jak tyto techniky sebeovládání tvoří základ svobodné společnosti. Nabízí tak podnětné myšlenky pro každého, kdo se zajímá o etiku, politiku a lidskou svobodu.
