I was reading about Nietzsche critiquing it by saying like, how are you supposed to not like live against nature? You know, what does that even mean? So anything that we do according to nature. I think it's more not resisting nature. Not resisting the fact that we're going to die. Something that you should think about. And also on what it means to be virtuous. Like I wasn't quite sure. Aside from listing a few things, like being honorable, living in harmony with nature. That's but again, with that it means too.
David and Tamler dive into Seneca’s “On the Happy Life” and stoicism, the topic selected by our beloved patreon supporters. Why is stoicism so popular today? What does Seneca actually think about Epicureanism? Can Seneca's philosophy be reconciled with his life as a wealthy Roman aristocrat? Are stoics too cold and detached or is that an unfair caricature? And why can’t David and Tamler fully embrace this undeniably wise approach to life?
Plus the return of… GUILTY CONFESSIONS and some favorite things from 2022.
