Practical Stoicism

Tanner Campbell

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

The setting matters. The Highlands and islands confront you with something modern life often hides: limits. Weather changes quickly. Conditions are often harsh. Nature does not adjust to you. You adjust to it

Tasks that once required human skill are now being automated or reduced to minimal input. This is not speculation. It is already happening. Many

I begin by clarifying a core Stoic idea. Just as the Stoic aims toward the ideal of the Sage, a man should aim toward becoming

Our task, therefore, is not to react with anger but to teach, explain, and correct with patience. That idea opens the door to a deeper

2026/01/03

Welcome, to Practical Stoicism.This podcast is for the prokoptôn: the person making moral progress. In Stoic philosophy, a prokoptôn is not a sage and is not expected to be perfect. Sagehood is likely unattainable. What matters is direction, not arrival.
