I think that for there to be source of genuine ethical normativity it must be something that explains why some things and states matter to us. In case of Epicureans, I think this is easier to argue because pleasure just is something that everyone desires as end itself or for its own sake. My worry with Stoics idea of the highest good is whether it can accomplish this normative task or not

I’d say you’ll want to question all those dogmatic assertions you’re making there. And then, once you realize you don’t have to make them, not only will those worries go away, you’ll be in a better position to study the Stoics

@@GregoryBSadler When I read Stoics they are really inspiring and provide commonsense wisdom how to handle normal every day situations with calm mind. But surely that's not the whole story. I don't think its controversial to say that virtue ethics (which Stoic ethics is part of) is suppose to provide normative standard as in how we ought to behave or give guidance for living a good life beyond self-help slogans, right? That's what I mean by genuine normativity that Stoicism is ethical theory and not reducible to something like self-help or cognitive therapy (although it contributes a lot to those, I'm big fan of Donald Robertson).

@@GregoryBSadler Well you mentioned Lawrence C. Becker's New Stoicism book. He's trying to justify Stoic ethics, same thing I'm talking about with ethical normativity. So its not like academics aren't interested in Stoic metaethics. Do you like disagree with this project or think its somehow not helpful in understanding ancient Stoics?

@@coffeesmug3406 I think his project is fine. I'd spend some time with the Stoic texts and for the time being drop this obsession with shoehorning everything into "ethical normativity". That's really quite enough time I've given to this conversation

Very interesting, I didn’t expect you to walk through the list of sub-Virtues in Arius Didymus haha awesome. The Virtue of Shrewdness (“Knowledge which is able to discover the appropriate act on the spot”) has always caught my eye; do you think there’s a time component to it? In other words is this “finding the appropriate act quickly”? The translation “on the spot” isn’t very helpful.

I don’t want to misrepresent what you said so to be clear you said that women haven’t been erased through history, at least that’s what I heard. Do you not believe this is the case?

@RUCam08 You've misrepresented what I've said. You need to listen more closely to what's said, or read the transcript, where I'm not being asked about women being marginalized, but "erasure from history". AND you really need to focus on what's most important in these discussions, not tangents like this
