Stoicism is the only Western philosophy with classical roots that is popularily promoted as a philosophy-for-living. The rest are steeped in How Many Angels Can Fit on the Pin Of A Needle chin-stroking.[1] I tried to idly bring up philosophy for living questions a few years back. But I was asking academics (on Reddit) and I mostly got queer eyes about what I was asking such weird questions for. It has a praxis, not just a set of ideas. It also doesn’t have the “stain” of being associated with any religion. Which means that secular people can adopt it without some defensive stance on how they are only adhering to the “practical” or the “scientifically backed” parts without the “bullshit” (c.f. Buddhism). [1] Popularily. I’m sure someone could be applying things like Cynicism and other classical philosophies.
