Stoicism | What are Apatheia, Ataraxia & Eudaimonia?

Показать описание

In Greek philosophy, we can distinguish several human ‘states of mind and being’ that can be acquired by correct philosophical understanding, as well as the pursuit of virtue.

I'm a greek and currently in the last year of high school it's the first and only year we ever touched the subject of philosophy. I found such a big interest in those terms, the ideas, the lifestyles of the philosophers so here I am today, on my daily Einzelgänger video looking deeper into those meanings. The world needs this.

We have too many options in the developed world, to stop and have a window, to ponder.
These several thousand years old teachings still hold true and are ever so important, like the air we breathe.

Awesome video, man! Thank you, your videos help a lot. As someone who deals with chronic depression and all kinds of inner demons, Stoicism and philosophy in general have helped me to live a bit more wisely, virtuous and have been a useful tools to clear my head from the negative connotations that are often capable to worsen my condition.

The video is great and I find myself agreeing with a whole lot of what the Stoics had to say about those three states of mind. I only think that one can be way more useful to society if he stays out of politics and simply help and serve others through more effective ways.

Equanimity: "the psychological ability of not destabilizing your emotional life, regardless of external inputs".
Ataraxia: "The ability to reduce the number of wishes, needs, longings (not extinguish desire as budhism) in order to reduce suffering.

Politics have become so toxic these days that I’m inclined to agree with the Epicurean viewpoint on that. But I still respect & apply Stoic philosophy in my life as best I can. No reason to not learn from both & use what makes sense from both. Thanks for another insightful video, wishing you all the best!
