Stoa Conversations: Stoicism Applied

CHAPTER

Understanding and Accepting Death in Stoicism

This chapter explores the Stoic philosophy of death and its importance in overcoming the fear of death. The speaker discusses the idea that understanding death as an aspect of our nature allows us to cling less tightly to things we value, including our own lives and the lives of others. By recognizing our mortality, we are reminded of the urgency of living fully in the present moment and appreciating our connections with others.
