This one is for all of you interested in Stoic theory.In this conversation, Caleb and Scott Aikin discuss objections to Stoicism. Scott defends a revisionary kind of Stoicism. In some places, Caleb questions how revisionary it is – is Scott just restating things the ancients solved already? In other places, Caleb questions whether it’s too revisionary to work – do we need an account of nature after all? Scott responds. Listen and work through the problems yourself.Epictetus’s 'Encheiridion': A New Translation and Guide to Stoic EthicsEarlier Stoa Conversation on Why What You Think Is Up To YouCaleb and Michael discuss The Impossibility ObjectionScott Aikin on We Are The Stoics Now(04:44) Fatalism(12:29) Dichotomy of Control(18:45) Where Your Control Lies(20:04) Skepticism(22:28) Determinism(31:30) How You Revisionary Is Scott?(34:38) The Ruin Problem***Subscribe to The Stoa Letter for weekly meditations, actions, and links to the best Stoic resources: www.stoaletter.com/subscribeDownload the Stoa app (it’s a free download): stoameditation.com/podIf you try the Stoa app and find it useful, but truly cannot afford it, email us and we'll set you up with a free account.Listen to more episodes and learn more here: https://stoameditation.com/blog/stoa-conversations/Thanks to Michael Levy for graciously letting us use his music in the conversations: https://ancientlyre.com/
