About Stoic Wisdoms
Stoic Wisdoms is the largest Stoicism publication, which means the posts have been stress-tested against the questions real readers actually bring to philosophy, not the ones that make for tidy answers.
The Greeks had a name for the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it: akrasia. Weakness of will despite knowledge. The Stoics rejected the concept entirely. They believed that if you truly understood what was right, you would act on it. Bad action was always a failure of judgment, never of will.
