Stoicism is the pursuit of Virtue (Aretê), which was defined by the Ancient Greeks as "the knowledge of how to live excellently," Stoicism is a holistic life philosophy meant to guide us towards the attainment of this knowledge through the development of our character. While many other Stoicism podcasts focus on explaining Ancient Stoicism in an academic or historical context, Practical Stoicism strives to port the ancient wisdom of this 2300-plus-year-old Greek Philosophy into contemporary times to provide practical advice for living today, not two millennia ago. Join American philosopher of Stoicism Tanner Campbell, every Monday and Friday, for new episodes.Evergreen Podcasts 2025 Ciencias Sociales Filosofía

  • How Much News Should a Stoic Consume?

    How Much News Should a Stoic Consume?
    Oct 8 2025
    In this episode I wrestle with how much news a practicing Stoic should actually consume. I define a “news media diet,” weigh different source types (fellow citizens, establishment outlets, and subject-matter experts), and argue for a role-driven, locality-first approach that respects our limits of time, competence, and control. I also share my own daily routine and a practical way to stay informed without burning out or being dragged into performative outrage. Key takeaways from this episode include: — Total awareness is impossible and counter-productive; Stoic attention should be selective, role-guided, and locally anchored. — Evaluate sources by access and incentives: citizens (high emotion, low access), establishment media (access but market pressures), experts (highest fidelity, hardest to parse). — Prioritize local → national → global, expanding outward where issues bilaterally affect your locality and where you can meaningfully act. — Caring doesn’t require omniscience: when you lack competence or control, prefer modest, concrete goods (e.g., legitimate humanitarian donations) over performative debate. — Build a bounded routine (e.g., brief market/finance scan, a neutral daily digest, one or two focused newsletters, 30 minutes on local coverage) and avoid doom-scrolling. — Stoic aim: enough awareness to fulfill your roles justly—no more, no less.

  • Can We Stoics Take A Day Off?

    Can We Stoics Take A Day Off?
    Sep 28 2025
    In this episode I tackle a question that every practicing Stoic has probably wrestled with: can we ever take a day off from Stoicism? If the pursuit of virtue is supposed to shape every moment of our lives, does that mean we must always be vigilant, never resting? I explore what the ancient texts say, how the ancients themselves surely stumbled, and why purposeful rest isn’t a betrayal of Stoic practice but part of sustaining it. Key takeaways from this episode include: — While Epictetus and Marcus urge vigilance, they also admit we’ll falter — and the key is always to return to the path. — Rest is not an escape from virtue but a way of preserving our rational faculty so we can act justly, wisely, and with courage. — Burnout undermines Stoic practice; deliberate rest strengthens it. — The ancients weren’t sages, and neither are we — taking breaks is part of the human condition and consistent with Stoic growth. — If you nap beside the Stoic path, the path will still be there in the morning.

  • The Stoic Perspective on Abortion

    The Stoic Perspective on Abortion
    Sep 21 2025
    In this episode I take on one of the hardest and most emotionally charged topics of our time: abortion. Not to argue politics or to inflame division, but to examine how Stoicism frames the issue. We look at both pro-life and pro-choice arguments through Stoic logic, explore why rational agency is the core of the debate, and consider what it means to respect the choices of others when those choices belong to them and not to us. Key takeaways from this episode include: — For Stoics, moral weight belongs to rational agents — the pregnant person, not the fetus, since reason is what grounds justice and responsibility. — A Stoic pro-life case emphasizes Nature’s purpose, duties of care, and respect for a future rational being; a Stoic pro-choice case emphasizes rational deliberation, virtue, and justice in context. — Abortion is not, at its core, a political issue but a moral one — politicizing it strips the pregnant person of their proper role as the rational agent in the decision. — The Stoic response to abortion is twofold: deliberate with integrity if you face the choice yourself, and respect the rational deliberation of others if they face it instead. — Justice means giving to each what is due — and in the case of abortion, what is due is the dignity of rational agency.
