The Stoics are back—and not just in philosophy classrooms. Across the social and political spectrum, ancient Stoic wisdom has been attracting new audiences seeking emotional resilience and mental clarity in these times of instability and change. But did you know the Stoics also had something to say about music? In this talk, Melinda Latour will explore the unexpected significance of music in the Stoic tradition. Revealing ancient insights within modern soundscapes—from rap and metal to country and classic rock, Latour reimagines music not just as entertainment, but as a transformative practice cultivated through the art of listening.
