The Revival of Stoicism and Its Impact During the Renaissance

Want to become more Stoic? Join us and other Stoics this October: Stoicism Applied by Caleb Ontiveros and Michael Tremblay on Maven

Today’s Stoic revival is the second one. The first resurgence of Stoicism actually happened during the Renaissance.

In this podcast, David Fideler and I discuss what Modern Stoics today can learn from the Renaissance Humanists.

It’s a conversation that touches on history, education, and virtue ethics. It should be of interest to anyone who wants to increase the influence of Stoicism on society.
