Massimo, will you be bringing over Inner Citadel posts from Medium, as you need a subscription to those too. If you could bring them to Substack here that would be great - and appreciated! Thank you.

Great article! And thank you for your summaries of some of Hadot’s and Cicero’s work, I find them to be very helpful!

It occurs to me that Figs in Winter has become my local Stoa, where I can stop by to listen not to Zeno of Citium by Pigliucci of Brooklyn. Thanks.
