    The Spark of the Stoics

    Epictetus.

    1,447 words

    Philosophy is a subject that never really sparked my interest. While I understand that philosophy is important to living a virtuous life, I simply think that virtue and morality are useless if you are forced to live around people that do not share your same morals and virtues. This is the situation that white people are now facing in our own countries. (more…)

    Stoic Spiritual Hygiene with Regard to Normies

    1,040 words

    Ancient philosophy, as Pierre Hadot has argued, was not merely a set of ideas but meant to include something far more practical: the leading of a good life in the pursuit of truth. (more…)

    Christ-Like Aspects of the Sage According to Epictetus

    1,030 words

    I was recently reading the Discourses of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus (c. 55-135 AD). These recordings of Epictetus’ teachings are a very fine work: one really feels as though one is in the early Roman Empire, at Epictetus’ school, and the master is speaking to us directly, in a very practical way.

    Mein Kodex, Fortsetzung

    Aristotle-at-university-of-thessaloniki-greece

    Aristoteles vor der Universität von Thessaloniki, Griechenland.

    3,006 words

    Übersetzt von Deep Roots

    English original here

    In einem früheren Essay teilte ich zehn Aphorismen aus „meinem Kodex“ mit. Falls euch dieser Essay entgangen ist, sage ich nur, daß ich vor ein paar Jahren beschloß, einen Kodex zu erstellen, um danach zu leben. Wie die meisten Dinge, die ich tue, verwandelte sich das in ein größeres Projekt, und ich sammelte schließlich Nuggets „praktischer Weisheit“ aus allen möglichen Quellen: Aristoteles, die Stoiker und Epikureer, die Eddas und Sagas, (more…)

    Mein Kodex

    Peter Paul Rubens, "The Four Philosophers," with a bust of Seneca, 1611-1612

    Peter Paul Rubens: „Die vier Philosophen“, mit einer Büste von Seneca, 1611-1612

    3,851 words

    Übersetzt von Deep Roots

    English original here

    Vor ein paar Jahren entschied ich, daß ich einen Kodex brauchte, um danach zu leben: eine Reihe von Prinzipien, die mein Leben leiten. Nun, es ist nicht so, als hätte ich nicht bereits einige Prinzipien entdeckt, die mir als richtig erschienen; es war nicht so, als ob ich im Blindflug unterwegs gewesen wäre, ohne irgendwelche Überzeugungen. Aber ich hatte mich nie hingesetzt und darüber nachgedacht, woraus genau mein „Kodex“ bestand, und das alles zu Papier gebracht. (more…)

    My Code, Continued

    Aristotle-at-university-of-thessaloniki-greece2,926 words

    In an earlier essay, I shared ten aphorisms from “my code.” In case you missed that essay, I will just say that a few years ago I decided to establish a code to live by. Like most of the things I do, this turned into a major project and I wound up gathering nuggets of “practical knowledge” from all manner of sources: Aristotle, the Stoics and Epicureans, the Eddas and Sagas, medieval Chivalry, Japanese Bushido, Tyler Durden, G. I. Gurdjieff, and even Indian Shaivism. (more…)

    My Code

    Peter Paul Rubens, "The Four Philosophers," with a bust of Seneca, 1611-1612

    Peter Paul Rubens, “The Four Philosophers,” with a bust of Seneca, 1611-1612

    3,739 words

    German translation here

    A few years ago, I decided I needed a code to live by: a set of principles to guide my life. Now, it’s not as if I hadn’t already discovered some principles that seemed right to me; it wasn’t as if I was flying blind, without any convictions. But I had never sat down and reflected on exactly what my “code” consisted in, and put it all on paper. So, I decided one day to do just that.
