      Vox Stoica, I’m sorry for not deleted the video you asked me to. There’s a lot of spam comments and I thought the book was common domain. I only wanted to share knowledge that has helped me in life. If possible you could take back the copyright strike apparently. If you would be so kind that would be great. If it’s not possible than thank you anyway. I’m sure 1 strike is no big deal. I make my own content typically.

    One of the first philosophy books I've read. I was 15 years old. Socrates' story inspired me so much. Buddhism and stoicism have resurrected faith in my life and I'll be ever grateful for the words of these heroes long gone. It's true what Seneca says, that we can marry ourselves into houses of thought of great men who lived before our time. For the philosopher it's a beautiful thing to become so accustomed to the works and history of a foregone thinker that he can include their person in his own self selected pantheon of spiritual godfathers. Through them you have friends, teachers, mentors, and hopefully one day equals, whose judgement is never unjust, whose advice is always valueable, whose demeanor is always humble and who's image isn't perfect, but fallible and vulnerable. You can come to love and respect them, but never idolize them. With them in your soul you will never be truly alone or without wisdom. Philosophy isn't exclusive to one man, but it's a movement that is present untill this very day. And the torch of philosophy will be passed on untill the last free thinking man perishes and with him the love of life.

    I read this when I was young getting my degree in philosophy. Now I hear it from a different point of view now that I'm old. It takes on a whole new color including what has happened since 2019 when my eyes were opened as to what's really going on. I, too, am not convinced that death is such a bad thing. It would be a release to get away from all this evil and crimes against humanity. I've tried to help, educate, give grace because I understood what has been done to people. At times I feel feckless. As though my true role was simply to be a witness. I get how Socrates was feeling.

      @@jackdarby2168 I think it’s popular because Stoic philosophers superficially seemed to promote ‘tools’ that superficially seem related to ‘business,’ though the original Stoics were talking from a military POV, just like the original ‘art of war’ and ‘samurai books’ were not meant for business but are appropriated by business people. It’s a fading trend, I can already see Stoicism going out of favor due to the fact that modern psychology already has better tools and more plausible stories about what causes unhappiness.

    • @alo8892
      @alo8892 2 года назад +2

      He most likely did it because the connotations which were associated with the word "Apology" were far different then than now. Back then it meant a formal and concise description of an issue or an exposition in detail as accurately as possible,today it means expressing one's remorse at actions done. Socrates wasn't "sorry",because the basis of an "Apology" is saying you're sorry(apologise), he was merely giving an exposition of his life to the court. Whether they wanted him to be free of charges or to be condemmed was totally indifferent to him.
