Massimo, will you be bringing over Inner Citadel posts from Medium, as you need a subscription to those too. If you could bring them to Substack here that would be great - and appreciated! Thank you.
Jason, good question. I honestly don't know what to do with the Medium collection. I am now posting there only the articles that appear free on Substack, to incentivize people to move over here. I will stop doing that at the end of the year.
One thought is to gradually import a curated selection of updated Medium posts from there into Substack, beginning in January. In that case, the series on The Inner Citadel would definitely be part of it.
Jason, yes, I can do that. I just don't want to import too many posts from Medium and risk my subscribers here feeling cheated because they are getting a lot of old material!
On the contrary......would love to re-read some of those older articles.....as others have mentioned THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD MATERIAL , well worth bringing over to Substack ......I first became interested in Stoicism because of your writings on How to be a Stoic and still return to that blog because there is so much of value there.....I enjoyed your series on Pierre Hadot and look forward to reading it again......thanks
Thank you sir! Maybe just create an archive folder and explain the purpose. You have a lot of good material that I am sure new Substack subscribers would appreciate! Thanks for your efforts!
Great article! And right from the start: "Whether we realize it or not, we all have a philosophy of life." - I couldn't agree with this more. So worthwhile to consider what one's philosophy is... and if it good as well as consistent.
I’m curious. What would a day at one of these schools have been like? Did they have regularly scheduled “classes “? Did one pay? Did one have to “ matriculate”?
David, we don’t know much about the daily activities at the schools. But what we know indicates that yes, students would pay a fee; the day would feature lectures about theory (say, Chrysippus’ logic); and the evening would be devoted to open q&a if the sort we see in Epictetus’ Discourses.
Well said, looking forward to reading the other parts!

Thanks Massimo that would be great. Maybe you can also bring over your most viewed items on Medium to Substack too.

Great article! And thank you for your summaries of some of Hadot’s and Cicero’s work, I find them to be very helpful!

It occurs to me that Figs in Winter has become my local Stoa, where I can stop by to listen not to Zeno of Citium by Pigliucci of Brooklyn. Thanks.
Kelly, ah! I like that idea. As immodest as it may be…
