About this listen

A conversation with Johnathan Bi (Cosmos Institute, The Great Books podcast) for a deep dive into Stoicism through the life and philosophy of Cato the Younger.

We explore:

  • Why Stoicism continues to attract modern audiences
  • Jonathan’s personal journey with Stoicism—and why he ultimately turned to other philosophies
  • Nietzsche’s critique of Stoicism as a coping mechanism
  • How Cato embodied Stoic principles (and where he may have fallen short)
  • The tension between Stoic theory and Stoic practice in figures like Seneca and Marcus Aurelius
