In this video, we explore the seven dangers and problematic issues with Stoic philosophy. From controversial teachings like the acceptance of suicide to the notion that war and crime are inherently good, we delve into the limits and contradictions of Stoicism.
Discover how modern interpretations might dilute the philosophy’s essence and how Stoicism addresses-or fails to address-complex issues like depression and human relationships. By the end, you'll gain a balanced understanding to avoid the pitfalls of becoming a naive Stoic practitioner.
Join us as we navigate the intricate landscape of Stoic teachings and their relevance in today's world. Don't forget to check the show notes for a link to the recent scientific study we discuss.
