Scott Aikin on Revising Stoicism (Episode 116)
Manage episode 398336878 series 3462781
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.
