Live Like a Philosopher

About this episode

This episode explores how to live philosophy through daily self-examination with practical Stoic reminders.

This episode returns philosophy to its ancient meaning: not something merely studied, but something lived. Pierre Hadot shows that figures like Marcus Aurelius practiced philosophy through daily self-examination rather than abstract theory. With four simple Stoic reminders—unity, moral good, human kinship, and the present moment—we offer a practical foundation for living like a philosopher. 👇 👇 👇 📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENT Check out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack: ☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: Let Us Cherish Old Age https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-let-us-cherish Hosted on Acast.
