Скачать или смотреть Is Virtue Enough? Stoicism's vs. Aristotle's

"Every ancient philosophy—Stoicism, Aristotelianism, Epicureanism—was fundamentally searching for the same thing: Eudaimonia, or the Good Life. But they disagreed radically on the path to achieve it. This expanded, deep-dive episode dissects the core ethical debate of the Hellenistic world."

"The Stoics declare Virtue to be the sole and sufficient good, making happiness unassailable by Fortune. But how does this compare to Aristotle, who insisted that external goods like health and wealth were necessary for true human flourishing? And how does the Stoic's fierce commitment to duty contrast with Epicurus’s pursuit of Ataraxia (tranquility) and pleasure?"

"We explore why the Stoic model is the only one that offers unconditional happiness—a promise of invulnerability that remains relevant in our chaotic modern world."

Key Philosophical Comparisons:

Stoicism (Zeno/Marcus Aurelius): Virtue as the only Good, ensuring freedom.

Aristotelianism (Aristotle): Virtue as central, but insufficient without a minimum of External Goods (Fortune).

Epicureanism (Epicurus): Virtue as a tool for the ultimate goal: Ataraxia (absence of distress).
