Podcasts about stoic paradoxes

In today's audiobook reading, Ryan presents the sixth and final reading of Cicero's Stoic Paradoxes. Cicero was considered Rome's greatest politician, and he has survived as one of history's most enduring chroniclers of Stoic philosophy and of the Stoics themselves. As Ryan explains in Lives of the Stoics, these paradoxes are designed to question commonly held beliefs in order to promote reflection and discussion. With his last paradox, Cicero examines the idea that “only the wise man is rich.”

Ryan presents the first of six readings of Cicero's Stoic Paradoxes. Cicero was considered Rome's greatest politician, and he has survived as one of history's most enduring chroniclers of Stoic philosophy and the Stoics themselves. As Ryan explains in Lives of the Stoics, these paradoxes are designed to question commonly held beliefs in order to promote reflection and discussion. In that spirit, the paradox that Cicero examines today, the fourth paradox, explores the idea that “every fool is an exile and the wise person cannot be harmed.”✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail

"On the surface, Cicero appears the perfect Stoic. He studied with all the right teachers. He served in office for decades. He was friends with Cato. Diodotus, the old Stoic philosopher, even died in Cicero’s house and left his estate to him. But it’s ironic that Cicero, the author of a book called Stoic Paradoxes, would himself fail to embody a paradox that goes to the core of the philosophy."Ryan explores this irony and shows how the Stoics avoided Cicero's mistakes on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.Preorder Ryan's new book Lives of the Stoics and receive special bonus material from Ryan!

This lecture discusses Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, Stoic Paradoxes, and focuses on the sixth paradox, namely that only the wise are rich. In the course of this discussion, Cicero points out reasons why possession of wealth or property does not amount to being rich. Those who pursue, value, or possess money are not made genuinely happy by it, and are often made fearful or miserable. Editing on this track was provided by Matthew Sadler.

This lecture discusses Cicero's visionary essay "The Dream of Scipio" which I included at the end of my book "Stoic Paradoxes." The topics of the essay are: 1. The qualities that make a great man. 2. The fleeting and futile nature of all earthly glory. 3. The immortality of our souls. 4. The right path to eternal glory. This essay is for me a personal favorite, and a rich storehouse for study and reflection.

This is the seventh and final lecture in our series. We discuss some of the most important ethical points of Stoicism, which are: 1. What is wealth? 2. Who can be considered wealthy? 3. Is only the wise man wealthy?

This lecture discusses propositions IV and V of "Stoic Paradoxes", which explore the following: 1. The wise man cannot be deprived of happiness. 2. Nothing can be taken from the wise man. 3. Character and conduct are all-important 4. Only the wise man can be said to be free. 5. What is freedom? 6. The wise man does nothing under compulsion. 7. Evil men are slaves. 8. Slaves are unable to control their impulses.

This lecture in our series on "Stoic Paradoxes" discusses the book's third proposition: that misdeeds are equal, and good deeds are equal. The central points are: 1. A transgression is bad, regardless if it is large or small. 2. If all sins are equal, then all virtues must also be equal.

This lecture discusses the first two questions in "Stoic Paradoxes", which deal with the following issues: 1. Wealth is an illusion. 2. What is a good? 3. Those who value pleasure too much are deluded. 4. Pleasure distracts the mind from the truth. 5. Virtue is a well of strength. 6. Death and exile are not threats to the wise man. 7. A truly wise man cannot be miserable.
