For more than two thousand years, Stoicism has equipped us with a defense system against difficulties. That is why it is more relevant than ever. However, we are faced with a difficult question: Is it true that we should not care about our jobs, our loved ones, or our lives? The ancient Stoics would answer affirmatively.
In this essay, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci presents us with a renewed Stoicism that reflects modern science and the social sensibilities of our time. The author embraces the bonds of affection that bring us joy, the satisfaction of achieving a goal, as well as the sadness caused by loss. Stoicism is not equated with the attainment of indifference, but with resilience in the face of pain and measured enjoyment; it transforms into a philosophical teaching that allows us to live better.
