Breakfast with Seneca: An Interview with David Fideler – Episode 51

Breakfast with Seneca: An Interview with David Fideler – Episode 51

December 29, 2021 Posted by Chris Fisher

This interview of David Fideler covers his 2021 book titled, Breakfast with Seneca: A Stoic Guide to the Art of Living. His book provides a detailed look at the life of Seneca as a Stoic prokopton. David’s book is intended for a general audience, and it is an easy and enjoyable read. Nevertheless, he provides extensive notes for those wishing to dig deeper. This book is rather unique because it provides a solid introduction to the basics of Stoic philosophical theory through the life and writings of a single ancient Stoic: Seneca. Chapter 9, titled Vicious Crowds and the Ties That Bind is particularly insightful and relevant in our time of political and social divisiveness.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Seneca’s life and works. I will also make a great gift to friends and loved ones who are curious about Stoicism.
