Seven Conversations About Modern Stoicism

Over the last year, I have been shooting sit-down interview videos, and seven of those have been conversations with people involved in the modern Stoicism movement.  Attending and speaking at Stoicon in 2017 and 2018 afforded me the opportunity to carry out these interviews.  All of them are with people who I consider friends and colleagues, so as you can tell when you watch them, we had an excellent time recording the conversations

Three of the interviewees - Christopher Gill, Donald Robertson, and Piotr Stankiewicz are team members of the modern Stoicism organization, and as such all three of them have spoken at the annual Stoicon conference.  Walter Matweychuk and Kai Whiting have also been presenters at Stoicon.  Travis Hume and Harald Kavli both are involved in local Stoic organizations and have very interesting writing projects focused on Stoicism.

You can learn a lot about Stoicism and its present prospects by talking with people who devote serious thought to it, and rely upon its principles and practice in their life and work.

Here are the links to those seven interviews - a total of just under 6 hours of conversation about Stoicism:

• Christopher Gill - Stoicism and Virtue Ethics (about 30 minutes)
• Donald Robertson - Stoicism and Psychotherapy (about 45 minutes)
• Walter Matweychuk - Stoicism and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (about 1 hour)
• Kai Whiting - Stoicism and Sustainability (about 1 hour)
• Piotr Stankiewicz - Modern Stoicism and its Prospects (about 25 minutes)
• Travis Hume - Applying Stoicism (about 48 minutes)
• Harald Kavli - Translating Epictetus (about 25 minutes)
