Articles

The New Zealand Stoic Society publishes articles that explore Stoic philosophy in a modern context. Our aim is to make the timeless wisdom of the Stoics accessible, practical, and relevant to everyday life in Aotearoa and beyond.

 

Here you will find:

• Introductions to Stoicism – Clear guides for those new to Stoic thought.
• Practical Reflections – Applying Stoic principles to challenges such as stress, relationships, resilience, and decision-making.
• Scholarship and History – In-depth explorations of Stoic texts, thinkers, and the development of Stoic philosophy.
• Voices of Today – Articles written by New Zealanders and international contributors reflecting on how Stoicism shapes their lives.

Our collection of writing draws on the works of the ancient Stoics – Zeno, Cleanthes, Chrysippus, Seneca, Epictetus, Musonius Rufus, and Marcus Aurelius – while also engaging with contemporary psychology, philosophy, and lived experience.

 

We welcome contributions from members and guest writers who share our vision of cultivating wisdom, virtue, and resilience in modern life. If you would like to write for us, please get in touch.
