Here's the next Sadler's Lectures podcast episode on the Cynics. This one drawn on Xenophon's Symposium, where Antisthenes tells us about his views and way of life, and how well it works out for him! https://t.co/EGOamwaUoz #Podcast #Cynicism #Antisthenes #Xenophon #Symposium

Here's the next Sadler's Lectures podcast episode on Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. He reminds himself that although he's fallen short of living like a philosopher, it's still a possibility for himself (and by extension, for us) https://t.co/WwZMd8INZT #Podcast #Stoic #Philosophy
