    Raising Kids 3

    Raising Kids 2

    In today's episode, recorded on Father's Day itself, Mick and Adam delve further into Musonius' rules about raising kids. The episode starts out by talking about what it means to "provide" as a father, referencing the Kelly Brothers and their experience as children. Then the topic of the "fatherlessness" problem comes up, and the hosts step back into the rules as they are themselves represented by Musonius Rufus. Topics of virtue before wealth, leading by example, and raising sons and daughters equally in virtue and education, are all discussed today. Today's translations of Musonius Rufus come from the Cora E. Lutz translation of 1947.

    Epictetus

    In this week's episode, Adam and Mick discuss one of the "Big Three" of Stoicism: Epictetus. In discussion is Epictetus' origins, what we know (or don't really know) about his early life, how he came to become a slave, and how he ended up in Rome. The discussion turns to some of his core views, and where they might have originated based on the experience that we know that he went through. Epictetus' fame in the classical world, and his eventual connections to Marcus Aurelius, rounds out the discussion as well as Epictetus' connection to some more modern Stoics as well.
