Spencer Klavan on Stoicism and Saving the West
Показать описание
Caleb speaks with Spencer Klavan. Spencer is a classicist, author of How to Save the West, and host of the Young Heretics podcast.
Spencer argues, correctly in my view, that we face five crises as individuals and society – and how we respond to them determines who we are. These crises pertain to reality, body, meaning, religion, and regime.
We discuss these challenges, ancient accounts of virtue, and whether Stoicism has what it takes to solve our predicament. I really enjoyed this one. Spencer is exceptionally knowledgable and takes these ancient works and modern problems seriously.
(00:32) Spencer's Story
