Excellent post as always. This article does a great job explaining why Musonius is my favorite philosopher. Socrates taught us how to question, Musonius taught us about training virtue through action. Voluntary discomfort in order to train the skills of virtue is an incredibly empowering concept that can improve anyone’s life across domains. Good stuff guys

Another solid piece from the both of you. Musonius the hardened teacher of Stoicism.

I'll second this, it's a great translation of Musonius's lectures and includes a short biography as an introduction.
