In our modern world of constant stimulation, stress, and the relentless pursuit of material success, many find themselves searching for a sense of inner peace and a way to navigate life's inevitable challenges with grace and resilience, this search has led a growing number of people to explore the ancient Greek philosophy of Stoicism, a school of thought that has endured for over two millennia and continues to offer profound insights into living a life of virtue, tranquility, and self-mastery. At its core, Stoicism is a practical philosophy that emphasizes the development of self-control, fortitude, and a clear perception of one's true place in the world, it teaches that by cultivating reason, moderation, and an acceptance of the natural order of things, we can achieve a state of equanimity – a calm, unruffled state of mind that allows us to withstand the vicissitudes of life with steadfast virtue and wisdom. Stoicism originated in ancient Greece around the 3rd century BCE, founded by the philosopher Zeno of Citium, Zeno's teachings were influenced by the ideas of earlier philosophers, such as Socrates and the Cynics, but he developed a distinct philosophical system that would become the foundation of Stoic thought, the name "Stoicism" derives from the Stoa Poikile, a decorated portico or colonnade in Athens where Zeno and his followers would gather to discuss and teach their ideas, over the centuries, Stoicism spread throughout the ancient world, attracting adherents from all walks of life, including slaves, merchants, and even Roman emperors like Marcus Aurelius.
At the heart of Stoic philosophy lie four cardinal virtues: wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance, these virtues were considered fundamental to living a good and virtuous life, and their cultivation was seen as essential for achieving personal growth, inner peace, and a harmonious relationship with the world around us. Wisdom (Sophia) refers to the ability to discern the true nature of things and to act accordingly, it is the virtue that guides our thoughts and actions, helping us to make sound decisions based on reason and a deep understanding of the world. Courage (Andreia) is the virtue that enables us to confront challenges, endure hardships, and overcome fears and obstacles, it is the strength of character that allows us to act in accordance with our principles, even in the face of adversity. Justice (Dikaiosune) is the virtue that governs our relationships with others and ensures that we treat them with fairness, respect, and impartiality, it is the foundation of a well-ordered society and a key component of living a virtuous life. Temperance (Sophrosune) is the virtue that helps us maintain balance and self-control in our thoughts, emotions, and actions, it is the ability to resist excess and to cultivate a sense of contentment and self-discipline.
One of the central tenets of Stoicism is the dichotomy of control, which distinguishes between things that are within our control and those that are not, according to the Stoics, the only thing truly within our control is our own judgment, our thoughts, and our actions, external events, circumstances, and the actions of others are beyond our direct control, and we should not allow ourselves to be disturbed by that which we cannot change, this principle encourages us to focus our energy and efforts on what we can influence – our own attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors – rather than wasting time and energy on things that are ultimately beyond our control, by recognizing and accepting this dichotomy, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace and equanimity, even in the face of adversity. Stoicism is not merely an abstract philosophical concept; it offers practical wisdom and strategies that can be applied to our daily lives, helping us to navigate the challenges and complexities of the modern world with greater resilience and equanimity. Cultivating Emotional Resilience is one of the core principles, the idea that our emotions should not control us, but rather, we should strive to control our emotions, the Stoics believed that by developing a rational and objective perspective, we can cultivate emotional resilience and avoid being swept away by negative or excessive emotions, this idea is particularly relevant in our fast-paced, stress-filled modern world, where we are constantly bombarded with stimuli and external influences that can trigger intense emotional reactions, by practicing the Stoic principles of self-awareness, reason, and self-control, we can learn to respond to life's challenges with a calm and measured approach, rather than being overwhelmed by intense emotions. Embracing Simplicity and Contentment is another key tenet, Stoicism encourages us to embrace simplicity and find contentment in what we already have, rather than constantly seeking external validation or material possessions, the Stoics believed that true happiness and fulfillment come from within, and that by cultivating virtues such as wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance, we can achieve a sense of inner peace and satisfaction that transcends material wealth or external circumstances, in our modern consumerist society, where we are constantly bombarded with messages telling us that we need to buy more, have more, and be more, the Stoic emphasis on simplicity and contentment offers a refreshing counterpoint, by learning to appreciate the simple pleasures in life and finding joy in the present moment, we can free ourselves from the endless cycle of desire and dissatisfaction that often accompanies the pursuit of material wealth and external validation.
Developing a Cosmic Perspective is one of the unique aspects of Stoicism, it emphasizes developing a "cosmic perspective" – a recognition of our place in the vast expanse of the universe and the natural order of things, the Stoics believed that by cultivating this perspective, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and the inherent impermanence of life, this cosmic perspective can help us put our individual struggles and challenges into a broader context, reminding us that our personal experiences, while significant to us, are but a small part of the grand tapestry of existence, by embracing this perspective, we can develop a sense of humility and acceptance, recognizing that many of the things we perceive as obstacles or adversities are simply part of the natural ebb and flow of life. Stoicism also encourages us to cultivate gratitude and mindfulness, appreciating the present moment and finding joy in the simple pleasures of life, the Stoics believed that by focusing on what we have, rather than what we lack, we can cultivate a sense of contentment and inner peace, in our modern world, where we are constantly bombarded with distractions and external stimuli, the practice of mindfulness and gratitude can serve as a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction, by taking the time to appreciate the beauty and richness of the present moment, we can develop a deeper connection to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. While Stoicism originated in ancient Greece, its teachings and principles have endured for over two millennia, influencing countless philosophers, artists, and thinkers throughout history, from the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, whose "Meditations" remain a seminal text on Stoic philosophy, to modern-day writers and thinkers like Ryan Holiday and Massimo Pigliucci, the influence of Stoicism continues to shape our understanding of what it means to live a good and virtuous life, moreover, the core principles of Stoicism – self-mastery, resilience, and a focus on what is within our control – have proven to be remarkably relevant and applicable in our modern age, in a world that often seems chaotic, unpredictable, and overwhelming, the Stoic philosophy offers a framework for cultivating inner peace, emotional resilience, and a sense of purpose amidst the challenges of daily life, whether we are facing personal struggles, professional setbacks, or the broader challenges of living in a rapidly changing and complex world, the timeless wisdom of Stoicism can serve as a guide and a source of strength, by embracing its principles of reason, self-control, and acceptance of the natural order of things, we can develop the fortitude and equanimity needed to navigate life's ups and downs with grace and wisdom.
In a world that often seems driven by external validation, material success, and the relentless pursuit of pleasure and instant gratification, the ancient philosophy of Stoicism offers a refreshing and profound counterpoint, by emphasizing the cultivation of virtue, reason, and self-mastery, Stoicism reminds us of the enduring value of living a life guided by wisdom, moderation, and a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things, while the teachings of Stoicism may seem austere or challenging at first glance, they ultimately offer a path to inner peace, fulfillment, and a deeper sense of purpose, by embracing the principles of emotional resilience, simplicity, gratitude, and a cosmic perspective, we can develop the fortitude and equanimity needed to navigate the challenges and vicissitudes of modern life with grace and wisdom, in a world that often seems chaotic and overwhelming, the timeless wisdom of Stoicism can serve as a guiding light, reminding us of the enduring values of virtue, self-control, and a deep appreciation for the present moment, by embracing these principles, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace and contentment that transcends external circumstances, and find the strength and resilience to face life's challenges with equanimity and grace.

20th Century Revolutions is a weekly podcast that traces some of the most consequential revolutions, political and social, that took place across the globe during the 20th Century.
Currently On: "Season 2: The Young Turks - Revolutions of the Ottoman Collapse, pt. 2"
As a podcast about revolutions, the narrative will naturally pick up where the great Mike Duncan left off in his wonderful Revolutions podcast. This show is similarly broken up into seasons each covering different revolutions with episodes that are around 25-40 minutes long.
As a podcast about the 20th century, I will try to make some sense of the 20th century and how the dramatic events of these 100 years shaped our world today. One of my hopes is that the framework of political and social revolutions will allow for new understandings of the 20th century.
If you have any suggestions for future seasons, notice any serious blunders I have made in my facts or pronunciation, or just want to say hi, please email me at [email protected].

Während dieses blutigen Konflikts in Nordirland sind in den Jahren von 1969 bis 2001 insgesamt über 3500 Personen gestorben. Im Format einer audiobasierten Dokumentation möchte ich in vier Episoden mit euch gemeinsam ergründen, wie es dazu kommen konnte, dass Menschen buchstäblich ihre Nachbarn töteten.
Wie kam es zu einer gewaltsamen Eskalation dieser Größenordnung? Wieso dauerte der Konflikt so lange an und konnte erst Ende der 1990er Jahre gelöst werden? Oder: Ist der Konflikt überhaupt gelöst? Wie sieht es aktuell in Nordirland aus? Hält der Frieden? Mit all diesen Fragen werden wir uns im Verlauf dieser Podcast-Serie beschäftigen und sie versuchen, zu beantworten. Alle vier Episoden werden sich dabei chronologisch mit verschiedenen Zeitperioden des Konflikts befassen. -

Le tragedie greche sono state scritte più di 2500 anni fa, ma continuano ad essere rappresentate ancora oggi.
Perché?
Perché hanno un grande valore psicologico: Aristotele le trovava catartiche, Nietzsche pensava che fossero la massima espressione d'arte, Freud le studiava ed elaborava ipotesi sul loro senso e sul loro valore.
In questo podcast te le racconterò tutte, dalla prima all'ultima. In più, non ti farò solo un riassunto della trama, ma
Analizzeremo alcuni processi psicologici attraverso i personaggi.
Citeremo direttamente il testo, ossia le frasi più espressive ed evocative. A volte, direttamente dal greco antico.
Ascoltare il podcast è la cosa più vicina ad aver letto e commentato tutte le tragedie greche.
Se ti affascinano la cultura greca, la filosofia e la psicologia ma non hai avuto occasione di studiarla a scuola oppure non l'hai studiata come avresti voluto o semplicemente ami le storie dense di significato, ti aspetto qui ogni martedì per parlarne insieme.
Potrai lasciare commenti sotto gli episodi, così che anche gli altri possano leggere il tuo contributo, o puoi scrivermi su IG a @filosofiaecaffeina. Lì troverai più informazioni su chi sono e su che tipo di lavoro divulgativo svolgo (ormai da quattro anni).
Grazie per aver letto fino a qui,
Benedetta

Medio Oriente. Dal 7 ottobre, dai sanguinosi attacchi di Hamas ai kibbutz israeliani, il tema è ospite di tutti i media. Israele, Gaza, Cisgiordania. Netanyahu, IDF, Hamas, Fatah e Abu Mazen. E poi Libano, Hezbollah, gli ayatollah iraniani. Nomi di luoghi, gruppi, personaggi, si rincorrono. Ma tutti, nessuno escluso, esistevano ben prima del 7 ottobre: abitavano una regione al centro, da decenni, di tensioni e scontri. Qual è la storia di Israele e della Palestina? Come si è arrivati a questa fatidica data?
Per rispondere a simili domande in modo accurato, il Corriere del Ticino lancia la rubrica e l'omonimo podcast La Terra complessa. Con l'aiuto dell'esperto di Medio Oriente Benoît Challand, faremo un salto nel passato, ricostruendo in modo fattuale quanto avvenuto nel Levante dalla fine del XIX secolo a oggi.
