About this episode
What can Seneca, the Roman statesman and Stoic, teach us about life today?
And how can we teach ourselves to do the right thing?
Today Anya is joined by Robert Kaster, Emeritus Professor of Classics at Princeton to discuss the complex and rewarding legacy of Seneca’s Stoicism.
He is the author of many books including his most recent, How to Do the Right Thing: An Ancient Guide to Treating People Fairly, which is drawn from the writings of Seneca.
