    How Philosophy Can Help When Things Go Wrong - With Philip Freeman

    How Do You Cope When Everything Falls Apart? | Philip Freeman on Boethius & Ancient Wisdom What can philosophy do for you when you have lost everything—your power, your freedom, your friends, and perhaps even your life? In this live episode of Classical Wisdom Speaks, Anya Leonard speaks with classical scholar and award-winning translator Philip Freeman about one of antiquity's most extraordinary works: Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy and Freeman's new book, How to Cope: An Ancient Guide to Enduring Hardship. Boethius had reached the heights of Roman society. A brilliant scholar and powerful statesman, he served the Ostrogothic king Theodoric at a moment when the old Roman world was fading away. Then everything collapsed. Accused of treason, imprisoned and condemned to a brutal death, Boethius found himself alone in a cell asking a question that remains painfully relevant today: How do you endure when fortune turns against you? His answer was philosophy. In The Consolation of Philosophy, philosophy herself appears as a woman and begins a dialogue with the condemned prisoner, challenging his despair and forcing him to reconsider everything he thought made life worthwhile. Together, Anya and Philip explore Fortune's Wheel, the difference between temporary pleasures and lasting happiness, why wealth and status can never provide security, the importance of true friendship, and the ancient idea that happiness comes through the pursuit of virtue or excellence rather than external success. And this isn't abstract philosophy. Boethius was trying to make these ideas work while awaiting death. As Freeman explains, his writing captures the very human gap between understanding philosophy intellectually and actually believing it when, in the middle of the night, “the rats start to scurry.” KEY TOPICS COVERED Who was Boethius? Rome after the fall of the Western Empire Boethius' extraordinary rise—and catastrophic fall Writing philosophy while awaiting execution Why a Christian turned to pagan Greek and Roman philosophy Plato, Aristotle and Stoicism Why Boethius personified Philosophy as a woman What hardship reveals about true friendship Loneliness and human connection in the modern world How to find peace when circumstances are beyond your control Why money, power and fame can't guarantee happiness Aristotle on virtue, excellence and the good life The meaning of Fortune's Wheel How to remain steady when fortune changes Accepting hardship without withdrawing from the world Stoicism, politics and public service Can ancient philosophy help us through societal collapse? Practical ancient advice for coping with uncertainty and loss TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Meet Philip Freeman 02:27 The world of Boethius 05:01 Who was Boethius? 07:21 His catastrophic fall 09:05 Philosophy, Christianity & the classics 11:34 Philosophy becomes a woman 14:39 Hard times reveal true friends 17:12 How philosophy consoles us 19:00 Money, power & true happiness 22:07 Aristotle, virtue & excellence 25:06 The Wheel of Fortune 28:39 How should we face hardship? 30:05 Should we withdraw from politics? 31:59 Why Boethius still feels human 33:34 Practical advice for coping 36:08 Why is Philosophy a woman? 37:00 Audience questions 40:32 Philosophy during societal collapse If Fortune's Wheel turned against you tomorrow, if you lost your wealth, status or security, what would you still have to build a good life around? And do you think philosophy can genuinely help us through our darkest moments, or does its wisdom become harder to believe when suffering is real? Let us know what you think in the comments.

    Why Does Marcus Aurelius Still Speak To Us Today?

    Why Is Marcus Aurelius Still So Powerful Today? | Aaron Poochigian on Stoicism & Meditations Nearly 2,000 years after his death, Marcus Aurelius still speaks directly to millions of readers. But why? In this episode of Classical Wisdom Speaks, Anya Leonard sits down with poet, classics scholar and translator Aaron Poochigian to explore his new translation of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations—and discover the complicated, vulnerable and surprisingly relatable man behind one of history's most influential works of philosophy. Poochigian wanted to restore the Meditations to “living color,” moving away from translations that can make Marcus sound distant or overly formal. After all, Marcus wasn't writing a philosophical textbook. He was writing to himself, working through the mental discipline of Stoicism in private. And when we listen closely, Poochigian argues, we can hear different versions of Marcus speaking: the demanding instructor laying down the Stoic ideal, the vulnerable aspirant struggling to achieve it, and the objector pushing back. The result is not a portrait of a perfect philosopher, but of a human being continually trying to become better. The conversation goes deep into what Marcus actually believed: our obligations toward other people, the divine logos, fate and providence, accepting what life sends us, and the radical Stoic claim that our happiness ultimately depends upon our own judgments. It also explores why these ancient practices feel so modern. From cognitive behavioral therapy to self-help and our constant search for ways to live better, many of the problems Marcus wrestled with remain remarkably familiar. Poochigian even suggests that we might understand the Meditations less as a philosophical treatise and more like a daily practice—almost a form of philosophical yoga. 🔑 KEY TOPICS COVERED Why Marcus Aurelius still resonates today Bringing the Meditations back to “living color” The three voices inside Marcus Aurelius The instructor, aspirant and objector Marcus Aurelius' anger, flaws and contradictions Was Meditations ever intended for publication? Death and the importance of the present moment What Stoicism says about our duty to others Why Marcus believed humanity forms one community What the Stoic logos actually means Marcus Aurelius' religious worldview Fate, providence and determinism Accepting—and even being grateful for—what happens Can we really control our own happiness? Stoicism and cognitive behavioral therapy Why philosophy should be practised, not merely studied How to make Meditations part of everyday life TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Meet Aaron Poochigian 00:59 Bringing Meditations to life 03:07 The three voices of Marcus 06:14 A dialogue with himself? 08:06 Was it meant to be published? 12:11 Marcus' private thoughts 13:39 Death & the present moment 17:37 Our duty to humanity 22:12 What is the Stoic logos? 25:40 The religious Marcus Aurelius 28:22 Fate & determinism 30:05 Accepting what life gives us 31:01 Can we control happiness? 32:34 Philosophy as practice 34:58 Stoicism & CBT 36:30 How to read Meditations 38:47 A philosophical practice 40:28 Final thoughts Marcus Aurelius is often presented today as the ultimate Stoic: calm, disciplined and almost unshakeable. But does seeing the struggling, contradictory and imperfect Marcus make his philosophy more valuable? Tell us what you think in the comments.

    Success & Stoicism: Practical Philosophy You Can Use - With Tom Morris

    Can Ancient Philosophy Teach Us How to Succeed? | Tom Morris on Aristotle, Stoicism & Living Well What does it actually mean to succeed in life? And could Aristotle, the Stoics and other ancient thinkers have better answers than our modern obsession with money, status and achievement? In this episode, Anya Leonard speaks with Tom Morris, public philosopher, former Notre Dame professor and bestselling author of If Aristotle Ran General Motors. Together they explore what happens when ancient philosophy leaves the classroom and enters everyday life: from business and leadership to personal success, politics and the search for meaning. Drawing on Aristotle, Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and others, Tom challenges conventional ideas of success and offers a deeper vision rooted in developing our talents, helping others and pursuing genuine human flourishing. The conversation also explores the extraordinary modern revival of Stoicism, whether we can separate great ideas from the flaws of the people who held them, and how ancient concepts of virtue, community and responsibility might help us navigate the divisions of modern society. Key Topics: Why ancient philosophy still speaks to modern problems What happened when Tom brought Aristotle into corporate America Why success isn't simply about money, power or status Aristotle, eudaimonia and the meaning of human flourishing How to find the useful “gold nuggets” in ancient philosophy Should we reject thinkers whose values don't match our own?

    Spirituality in the Ancient World: What Have We Lost?

    How Did Beliefs Really Work in the Ancient World?| Michael Satlow on Ancient Religion & Ritual For people in Late Antiquity, gods, spirits and invisible forces weren't simply matters of faith: they were part of everyday reality.  What would life feel like if gods, spirits, demons and other invisible beings were as real to you as the people around you? Professor Michael Satlow explores the enchanted world of Late Antiquity, and what it can teach us about our increasingly secular lives… In this episode of Classical Wisdom Speaks, Anya speaks with Michael Satlow, Professor of Judaic Studies and Religious Studies at Brown University and author of An Enchanted World: The Shared Religious Landscape of Late Antiquity. Together they explore how Jews, Christians, Greeks and Romans navigated a world infused with spiritual beings, and why familiar labels like "magic", "superstition" and even "religion" can prevent us from understanding how ancient people actually experienced their lives.  From protective amulets and ancient spells to disease, fear, ritual and the need for human connection, Satlow challenges our assumptions about ancient belief.
