Coach Pāṇini ®“All the major philosophical schools in antiquity regarded <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/eudaimonia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eudaimonia</a> as the highest good, often even the very aim and purpose of philosophy, although the various schools, such as the Cynics, the Stoics, and the Epicureans, may have conceived of it in somewhat different terms.”<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Cynicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cynicism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stoicism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Epicureanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Epicureanism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Buddhism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buddhism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/FirstPrinciples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstPrinciples</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/eudaimonia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eudaimonia</a> <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/202006/what-is-eudaimonia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/202006/what-is-eudaimonia</a>

Gregory B SadlerIn On The Nature Of The Gods, Cicero has the Skeptic Cotta offer criticisms of Epicurean views on the divine. Here's a Sadler's Lectures looking at the Skeptic criticism of anthropomorphism<a href="https://soundcloud.com/gregorybsadler/cicero-on-the-nature-of-the-gods-book-1-skeptical-criticism-of-epicurean-anthropomorphism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/gregorybsadler/cicero-on-the-nature-of-the-gods-book-1-skeptical-criticism-of-epicurean-anthropomorphism</a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Cicero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cicero</a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Podcast</a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Divinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Divinity</a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Skepticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skepticism</a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Epicureanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Epicureanism</a>

🇪🇷GötterdämmerungThis modern reinterpretation is less a coherent philosophy & more of a patchwork of <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/epicureanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epicureanism</a>, <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/Cartesian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cartesian</a> dualism, elements of the new age-y "law of attraction," undercurrents of toxic masculinity, as well as atomized individualism. I will show why neo-stoicism, or contemporary stoicism has betrayed its philosophical origins. <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/toxicmasculinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toxicmasculinity</a>

🇪🇷GötterdämmerungLife is one long journey that spirals from seeking purpose with Sartre's existential questions, then indulging in Epicurus' gardens, then falling headlong into Nietzsche's abyss, then finding resilience with Marcus Aurelius' stoic stiff upper lip, only to circle back to Sartre's bad faith, or Camus' the Absurd, or Kierkegaard's leap of faith...<a href="https://glitch.social/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/Sartre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sartre</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/Epicurus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Epicurus</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/Nietzsche" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nietzsche</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/Aurelius" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aurelius</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/existentialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#existentialism</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/epicureanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epicureanism</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/nihilism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nihilism</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stoicism</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/Absurd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Absurd</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/badfaith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#badfaith</a> <a href="https://glitch.social/tags/kierkegaard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kierkegaard</a>

Gregory B SadlerHere is the last new core concept video (for now) on key ideas in Seneca's On The Shortness of Life.

That copy was copied from an earlier 9th century text corrected by an Irish monk, <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/D%C3%BAngal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dúngal</a>.
