Philosophy

Sounds like someone needs to read Tolstoy's non-fiction.

Depends on the philosophy you are reading.

I like the stoics because it's about being a virtuous person. Many of the core texts we're written 2000 years ago but still hold up (mostly).

A lot of the teachings were incorporated into the bible but stoicism itself is religion light, although some of the authors held religious beliefs their sense of right and wrong wasn't predicated on eternal damnation.

However, you could read some of their writings as pro suicide, so trigger warning.

Is there a good philosophy instance on Lemmy?
