Summary: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimo_Pigliucci" target="_blank">Massimo Pigliucci</a> is is Professor of Philosophy at CUNY-City College and former co-host of the <a href="http://rationallyspeaking.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Rationally Speaking podcast</a>. Earlier in the summer I watch a video Massimo did on Stoicism and Dying with dignity that really got me thinking about death and mourning from a secular perspective, and after a summer of scheduling hiccups we were able to sit down and talk about Stoic philosophy, mortality, and the fast approaching <a href="https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com/stoicon/" target="_blank">Stoicon</a> and <a href="http://modernstoicism.com" target="_blank">Stoic Week</a><br> Not going to lie gang, it isn’t every day somebody with Massimo’s bonafides agrees to come on the show, so we were really pretty psyched to have him on and I really think you’re going to enjoy the heck out of this week’s episode.<br> If you want to find more from Massimo his websites <a href="http://HowtobeaStoic.org" target="_blank">HowtobeaStoic.org</a> and <a href="http://platofootnote.org" target="_blank">platofootnote.org</a> are generally brimming with philosophical goodness. Do check him out because he’s really done A LOT more than I can do justice in the short space I’ve got here.<br> <br> amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0";<br> amzn_assoc_search_bar = "true";<br> amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "zxcr-20";<br> amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual";<br> amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart";<br> amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";<br> amzn_assoc_region = "US";<br> amzn_assoc_title = "From Guests of the Show";<br> amzn_assoc_linkid = "f8f2941afc01beac7b0a804f20960bae";<br> amzn_assoc_asins = "1449479677,0982853718,B005FYCGIK,B00TA2IB7I";<br> <br>
