Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the Podcast on Stoicism

What happens when Stoicism moves beyond personal development and toward a deeper understanding of our place in the universe? In this thought-provoking episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, Benny speaks with philosopher and author Will Johncock, whose book Beyond the Individual explores Stoicism as a systems-based philosophy rooted in interconnectedness, rational order, and humility.

Together, they dive into big questions:
– What does it mean to be part of the rational logos?– Why is modern Stoicism often misread as hyper-individualistic?– How did the ancient Stoics view God, freedom, and community?– Can Stoicism help us move from isolation to social belonging?

Will also shares the philosophical roots behind his work, how Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus inspired his thinking, and why the Stoic concept of God as Nature should not be stripped from the tradition.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected in today’s self-centered world, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: you are not alone; you are part of something much greater.
