I communicate with Scott Aikin, a thinker at Vanderbilt College. This marks Aiken’s third look on Stoa Conversations.
Throughout this episode, we delve into important philosophical challenges to Stoicism, together with the muse of advantage, the impossibility objection, and points arising from Conventional Stoicism. These subjects maintain theoretical significance, however in addition they affect our sensible lives. Particularly it involves points like reframing obstacles and figuring out the diploma to which Stoics ought to adhere to custom.
Scott, and different Stoa Conversations visitor, William Stephens, are publishing Epictetus’s ‘Encheiridion’: A New Translation and Guide to Stoic Ethics this summer season.
