After giving it a lot of thought, I decided that it might be useful to create videos as responses. It's an engaging medium, to start with, and given my current digital presence, they would probably reach quite a few people. And, having answers in easily linked-to video forms would allow me to provide some useful information with just a minimum of writing, copying, and pasting.
Since Stoicism is of major interest in the present and will likely continue as such in the foreseeable future, the questions and confusions that come up about that struck me as a good place to begin. There are a number of other Stoicism-related topics that I'll be shooting these videos about in the coming months, but it won't be Stoicism all the time for good - there are a lot of other common questions on a host of other philosophical thinkers and topics I'm hoping to get to down the line!
Here are the videos I have produced up to this point:
- Which Book Should I Read First?
- Why Do The Stoics Only Recognize Four Virtues?
- How Does Stoicism Define Happiness?
- Does Being a Stoic Mean I Can't Have Empathy?
- Is The Philosophy of Stoicism Self Centered?
- Is Ego/Self To Be Embraced or Overcome In Modern Stoicism?
- Does Stoicism Believe in God?
- Doesn't Nietzsche Prove the Stoics Wrong About Nature?
- I'm Practicing Stoicism. Why Am I Still Angry?
So, if those are questions on your mind - or if reading those titles piques your curiosity - click on those links and see if the answers sort matters out for you. As I mentioned, I'll be shooting a lot more of these, both about Stoicism and about other topics in philosophy as well.
