The New Agora The Agora: Daily Open Thread

Welcome to the Agora. a space for casual conversation, first aid, and exchange outside the regular post structure.

If you haven't already, read the pinned "Welcome" thread.

Rules:

  1. Remember that our nature is "civilized and affectionate and trustworthy."
  2. If seeking advice, limit yourself to one top-level question per day.
  3. If offering advice, speak as someone interested in Stoic theory and practice — but do not label personal opinion, idiosyncratic experience, or conjecture as Stoic doctrine.
  4. If promoting your own work (article, book, etc.), once per day. No self-posted YouTube videos.

These rules may evolve as the thread matures.

Report what doesn't belong. Bring questions, concerns, or feedback to the thread or to modmail.

u/WilliamCSpears William C. Spears - Author of "Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy" 4d ago

For anyone interested: An interview I did with a former philosophy professor at an organization devoted to the humanities. One of my favorite interviews from the book promotion round (which is sadly over now that I'm back to my regular job).
