Keep Calm and Gnosis-On: Discussing Stoicism & Gnosis with Donald Robertson

May 5, 2023

Donald Robertson and Jason Mehmel sat down to chat about the connections between Stoicism and Gnosticism! These two perspectives on life aren’t often thought of together, separated by a few centuries and some different spiritual traditions. We uncover the similarities and discuss the useful ideas that both classical and modern Stoicism can bring to a modern Gnostic life.

Here’s the essay Donald wrote about his philosophic background and training, which includes his introduction to and interest in Gnosticism. https://donaldrobertson.name/2022/10/17/how-i-got-into-stoicism/
