This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher and Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius' work, Meditations (or To Myself)

It focuses specifically on a passage in book 2, where Marcus gives himself a number of reminders as he begins his day.  These reminders are intended to help him maintain his own good character despite having to deal with people who are indeed bad in specific ways. For those who do understand the nature of goods and evils, there is a greater responsibility to work with their fellow human beings, rather than to get angry with them"

For today’s episode, I recorded with Lauren Ell. We talk about finding meaning in life, morality, and her take on political and social issues from the perspective of, among other things, a mom and an atheist who identifies as a Republican. Together, we find parallels between Stoic Philosophy and her views. 

Lauren Ell founded several atheist organizations, most notably Republican Atheists, Atheist Moms, and Atheists We Are. She has lived most of her life in Southern California but moved abroad to Sweden for love in 2016. While abroad, she has launched American-Swedish organizations, Americans Sweden and Nordic Republicans. She has been featured in media outlets such as NPR, PJ Media and national Swedish live news and print.

Defusing American Anger With Zachary Elwood

Human Condition

*LYRICS*

But I'm walking down the road tonight
I know you don't wanna go

Listen to me
How come you don't know who you are
Why do you look from one to the other?

Inside
You feel like there's another needing
You feel like there's another needing

So hot in here!
I wanna cry, it's hot in here

Listen to me
Listen to me
You don't know anything

Rule of the wise (rule of the wise)
It's a noocracy (it's a noocracy)
It's the best of the best
Epictetus and all of his time

Marcus Aurelius
He's the man to listen to
Wise to listen to

You don't know me
And I don't know you
I can't tell you where to go
With your life
I only hope you listen to my advice
My advice

Who the fuck do you think you are?

Oh why (oh why)
Oh why (oh why)
Are you here?

Epictetus

For today’s episode, I recorded with author Donald Robertson about his new book ‘Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor.’ 

The book brings Marcus Aurelius to life for a new generation by exploring the emperor’s fascinating psychological journey. Robertson examines Marcus’s relationships with key figures in his life, such as his mother, the emperor Hadrian, and his Stoic tutors. He draws extensively on Marcus’s own Meditations and correspondence, and he examines the emperor’s actions as detailed in the Augustan History and other ancient texts.

Donald Robertson is a writer, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist, and trainer. He is one of the founding members of the Modern Stoicism nonprofit and the founder and president of the Plato’s Academy Centre nonprofit in Athens, Greece. Robertson is an expert on the relationship between modern evidence-based psychotherapy and classical Greek and Roman philosophy. He specializes in teaching evidence-based psychological skills. His work is highly interdisciplinary, combining philosophy, history, and psychology.
