Description

Today we introduce Seneca, perhaps the second best known Stoic writer, and certainly the one with the largest body of surviving work in the Stoic tradition. We’ve spent a year with Marcus, and we’ll continue to share him on Mondays, but you’ve been doing this long enough, you’ve learned enough, to expand your knowledge and familiarity of authors beyond just Marcus.

Those approaching Stoicism for the first time, with the intention of adopting it as a life philosophy, can find it both impossibly dense and extreme in its expectations of its students. For this reason, it is important that there exist a practical interpretation of the high-minded values of this ancient philosophy - to make the understanding and adoption of the basic tenets of Stoicism easier for those just starting out. This podcast helps newcomers get acquainted and comfortable with the practical aspects of Stoicism - it is a stepping stone to those heavier and denser parts of the philosophy that we all, if we truly wish to commit ourselves to practicing the philosophy of Stoicism, must delve into eventually. Episodes publish weekly.
