Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.

Join us for a profound exploration of Stoic philosophy with Massimo Pigliucci, as we journey from his groundbreaking work "How to Be a Stoic" to his latest philosophical evolution in "Beyond Stoicism."

Massimo Pigliucci is a professor of philosophy at the City College of New York and a leading voice in modern Stoicism.

As a philosopher and scientist with a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology, he brings a unique perspective to ancient wisdom, making complex philosophical concepts accessible and applicable to everyday life.

In this engaging conversation, we delve into practical Stoic wisdom for modern life, the evolution of ancient philosophy, and how to cultivate resilience and virtue in today's challenging world.

Learn how Stoic principles can transform your daily life, enhance decision-making, and foster emotional well-being.

His influential works include "How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life" (2017), which provides a practical framework for applying Stoic principles to contemporary challenges.

His follow-up work, "A Field Guide to a Happy Life" (2020), reinterprets Epictetus's Enchiridion for modern readers, making ancient wisdom accessible to contemporary audiences.

In his latest work, "Beyond Stoicism" (2024), Pigliucci explores new philosophical territories while examining the limitations and possibilities of Stoic thought in the 21st century.
