I've started a new series of short videos, generally under 90 seconds long, providing thumbnail sketches of some key ideas in Stoic virtue ethics. Each of these is uploaded in three different platforms: as YouTube shorts, Facebook reels, and LinkedIn videos. At present, I'm midway through teaching an 8-week online class on Stoicism and the cardinal virtues, and I have also started preliminary work on what will be a book-length project on the topic as well.
At present, I'm midway through teaching an 8-week online class on Stoicism and the cardinal virtues, and I have also started preliminary work on what will be a book-length project on the topic as well. So I thought that it might be useful or interesting to others for me to discuss some of these matters of Stoic virtue ethics I and my students are working through, set into this short video format. Stoicism sometimes gets wrongly summed up as a philosophy of life that maintains that "virtue is the only good".
