Systoa

Systoa.com is an attempt to reconstruct, illustrate and teach the system underlying stoicism and hellenistic philosophy in general. The main questions around which the project revolves are the following: How can I be happy and how is a flourishing life possible?

The return of the Greeks/Shippens 1883 The return of the Greeks/Shippens 1883

Here’s what we offer:

  • We delve into the Greek origins and the creators of Stoicism, rather than merely echoing the teachings of the (Roman) practitioners;
  • Our approach is systematic, holistic, and diagrammatic;
  • Our aim is to impart a deep and comprehensive understanding of Stoicism, enabling learners to embrace the Stoic framework as a way of life;
  • While Stoic quotations often surprise and intrigue, and having their meanings explained can be fascinating, truly understanding them is the real empowerment. We shall foster understanding!

Please note that systoa.com is a new venture (as of early 2023). We encourage you to visit periodically (and/or to subscribe), as we’ll be continually adding new content!
