Questions you'd like asked in regards to Stoicism?
So, I'm sort of working on making a guest appearance possible, and would like to know if anyone has any specific question or questions asked and answered by a modern Stoic philosopher?
I have a list prepared that is somewhat solipsistic if I were to ask it without asking if anyone we're actually interested in them being asked in the first place.
Here they are:
If anyone has anything better or would like the questions revised, here's the place to do it.
Regards.
I have a list prepared that is somewhat solipsistic if I were to ask it without asking if anyone we're actually interested in them being asked in the first place.
Here they are:
- 1. Why has Stoicism experienced such a revival as of late in the Western world? In your professional opinion, Professor Pigliucci is this due to our lifestyle, and if so, what has Stoicism to offer to better ourselves?
- 2. How would you differentiate between ancient Stoicism, Victorian Stoicism, and modern-day neo-Stoicism? How has the ethical field of Stoic thought evolved through time?
- 3. On a more general level, why do you subscribe to virtue ethics that is Stoicism rather than advocate consequentialism or deontological theories?
- 4. People have a hard time understanding the difference between Stoical apatheia and our modern use of the term is "apathy". How do you disambiguate the two from one another?
If anyone has anything better or would like the questions revised, here's the place to do it.

Quoting tim wood
I suppose Q#3, is kinda an offshoot between Q#2&1, being insofar, how much does the Kantian categorical imperative lend itself to Stoical duty? Or is there any overlap between the two?
Is that a good reification of your question(s)?
