Massimo Pigliucci is the professor of philosophy at City University of New York who wrote the book How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life. It’s about the author’s own journey finding the right practical philosophy for living in today’s modern chaos by listening to voices from early Rome and Greece. In this episode we discuss why ancients reminded themselves every time they kissed their spouse that they loved a mortal and much much more. Stoic week 2018 begins Monday 1st October.
