Episode 12: Ben Franklin

Published: June 18, 2017, 9:45 a.m.

We'll take a break from the classic Stoic's today and have a look at the philosophy of Benjamin Franklin. Franklin was not a Stoic, but he was interested in living a virtuous life. He focused on the classic virtues of Temperance and Justice. He broke them out into 13 separate sub-virtues that he practiced each day. To see his virtue journal or his daily schedule check out chapter 9 of his autobiography.
