Here are some interesting articles I’ve come across recently, for your consideration:
The Ancients’ tech anxiety. On the shallowness of reading mythology as sci-fi. (New Atlantis)
Emotional Intelligence and Stoicism. Taking control of your emotions in a relationship. (Medium)
The paradox of an atheist soul. Why the idea of a single self only makes sense in a theistic world. [It doesn’t, but good example of nice writing and logically flawed argumentation.] (New Statesman)
What is the Point of Studying Ancient Philosophy? (Medium)
Public philosophy and philosophical progress. [I don’t agree with the author’s narrow view of philosophical progress, here is mine. Still, a lot of food for thought.] (APA Blog)
A universal truth: desire in Buddhism, Taoism and Stoicism. (Medium)
What’s so funny about philosophers? Unthinkable: the original ‘sage-wannabes’ of Athens were considered slightly weird, a new book reveals. (Irish Times)
Philosophy as a Way of Life
Interesting New Statesman piece. Is John Gray undergoing another personal paradigm shift?
The other book, and book review piece, the Irish Times one? Looks interesting.
