The Via Stoica Podcast The Stoic Discipline of Action: How to Live with Justice and Purpose
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the Podcast on Stoicism.
In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, Benny explores the Stoic Discipline of Action, the practice of living with justice, fairness, and responsibility in our interactions with others.
In a time where social media and digital life can make us feel more isolated and divided than ever, Stoicism reminds us that we are social beings, connected to one another and to nature itself. Far from being about retreating inward, the Discipline of Action asks us to step outward, to recognize our roles, fulfill our duties, and act with justice for the common good.
Drawing on Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and the broader Stoic tradition, Benny unpacks how role ethics, cosmopolitanism, and the idea of concentric circles can help us understand our place in the world. You’ll hear practical ways to apply this discipline, from asking “What is my role here?” in difficult situations, to weighing the fairness of your choices not only for yourself but for those around you.
If you’ve ever wondered how to align your actions with virtue and contribute to a better society, this episode will guide you toward practicing the Stoic Discipline of Action in daily life. For more on this topic, see the full guide:
