Understanding Humility Through Stoic Philosophy with Dr. Regan Lance Reitsma
“Humility is not just a virtue, not just a personal strength, a virtue consistent with other virtues, but also has the advantage of painting humility as a cardinal virtue, but within a special kind of deep significance.”
Ever wondered how humility fits into the grand scheme of Stoic philosophy? In this episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, Justin Vacula sits down with Dr. Regan Lance Reitsma to untangle the intricate threads of humility. Dr. Reitsma, an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at King's College, brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, diving into different definitions and the potential paradoxes that come with them. From intellectual humility to moral humility, they cover it all.
The conversation doesn't stop at theory; they also explore how these ideas can be practically applied in our everyday lives. Drawing from Dr. Reitsma's journal articles and the thoughts of other philosophers like Sponville and Robert, the discussion sheds light on how humility can make us better thinkers and more grounded individuals. If you're curious about how to incorporate humility into your life or just want to understand its role in Stoic philosophy, this episode is a must-listen.
