The Stoic Family: Balancing Freedom and Responsibility in Society
Welcome back to The Copinghagen Podcast, where the wisdom of the ancients meets the complexities of modern living. I'm Patrick Cullen, your steadfast guide through the currents of Stoic philosophy. Today, we dive into the intricate web of societal dynamics viewed through the Stoic lens.
Imagine society as a vast tapestry, woven with the threads of family relationships. At its core lies the nurturing embrace of the mother, embodying comfort and support akin to welfare and health services. Hers is a sanctuary amidst life's tempests, offering solace to those in need. This idea echoes the Stoic principle of oikeiosis, or the natural affection and care we extend to those close to us, which was emphasized by philosophers like Hierocles. He illustrated concentric circles of care, starting with the self and radiating out to include family, friends, and society at large.
