Episode 008 / Stoicism, Pt. 2 - Temperance
from The Philosofiles Hosted by The Philosofiles
In today’s episode, we explore the life and lessons of Cleanthes, a man who was in many ways a living testament to the first Stoic virtue we’ll examine: Temperance. Many doubtless considered him foolish for turning down wealth and honors from nobles and kings, as Cleanthes rejected a life of luxury in favor of being a humble manual laborer. Come with us as we explore the legacy of a man who taught us that everyone - no matter their standing in life - can lead the temperate, peaceful, and fulfilled life of a Stoic.
