“Chris Fisher is a skilled expositor of stoic doctrine and practice. He is well-versed in ancient stoic texts and in contemporary scholarship on stoicism, and I have found him to be a credible guide. His podcast, however, is not academic: rather, he treats stoicism as a living philosophy that we can and should embrace today. Fisher is clearly committed to stoic philosophy, and he is compelling in his presentation. He embraces what he calls “traditional stoicism,” which seems to mean that he, correctly, holds the theistic beliefs of the ancient stoics to be essential to stoic practice. (He notes early on, however, that some ancient stoic beliefs have been disproved: I assume he means things like augury and soothsaying, which were indeed embedded in the classical stoic worldview.)
What I like most is the combination of theory and practical exhortation. My academic background is in Aristotelian virtue ethics. But although I love Aristotle, he presents little in the way of practical guidance in how to acquire virtue. Not so with Epictetus and the rest of the stoic gang: it’s all practical, all the way down.
This podcast has been incredibly helpful in my own moral and spiritual journey. I’m grateful to Chris Fisher for putting this together (although I wish he updated more consistently!). I highly recommend listening.”

This is a "spiritual" Stoicism, in that it takes seriously the ancient Stoic belief in a providential universe. The focus is on...”Read full review »

“I’m new to stoicism and feel this podcast is vital to anyone who wants to understand how it was originally intended to be practiced. There is a difference between modern stoicism and traditional stoicism. It’s important to know what’s being left out as this philosophy is being updated to our...”Read full review »
