The Examined Life: Philosophy for Real People

education, how to · EN-US

The Examined Life: Ancient philosophy for modern life. The great philosophers asked the questions that still matter most: How do we live well? How do we become happier? How do we build strong marriages and raise good children? How do we develop courage, self-discipline, wisdom, and character? How do we face anxiety, failure, anger, grief, temptation, and the uncertainty of life? The Examined Life brings the great philosophical tradition out of the classroom and back where it belongs: into everyday life. Hosted by philosopher Dr. Scott M. Sullivan, each episode explores the practical wisdom of Aristotle, Cicero, Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Aquinas, and other great thinkers, translating their ideas into clear language for serious people who want to live better. No academic jargon. No self-help fluff. No philosophy merely for the sake of philosophy.
