Description

Is it impossible that embarrassment is an emotion the Sage would possess? Seneca promises us that Sages will blush if it is in their nature, as this is a bodily function that actors cannot summon nor can anyone prevent -- we do not control our bodies, as we do not own them -- but does blushing always equal embarrassment? And if so, is appropriate embarrassment a thing which exists?

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.
