The Stoic Jew Shiur #07: Existential Procrastination (Meditations 2:4)

The Stoic Jew

Length: 59 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (8/7/24), in our final Stoic Jew Shiur of this summer, we learned the fourth entry in Marcus Aurelius's journal. This, too, is a self-reminder to keep his principles at the forefront of his mind - but this is the first time in the Meditations that Marcus explicitly mentions his own mortality. As we've found in nearly every one of these shiurim, there is tremendous overlap between these Stoic teachings and the teachings of Judaism!
