Description
Synopsis: Today’s episode was inspired by a rather hostile reaction online to a #prequeltorahmeme I made which featured the word “rational.” In this episode we examine the manner in which Seneca, Epictetus, and Shlomo ha’Melech introduce their readers to the life of rationality, and discuss why it is, perhaps, the best method of making this introduction.Sources:- George Lucas, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones- Seneca: Letter #66; click here to access the full text of Seneca's letter- Epictetus: Discourses 1:1----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
