Philosophy Night: STOICISM

Stoicism is the philosophical theory and practice we want to start the year 2021 with... this will help us calm our minds, gather courage, and face up to whatever life throws our way.

"Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant." - Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

We should always be asking ourselves: “Is this something that is, or is not, in my control?” - Epictetus, Enchiridion

“Choose not to be harmed — and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed — and you haven’t been.” – Marcus Aurelius

Stoicism is a school of philosophy that hails from ancient Greece and Rome in the early parts of the 3rd century, BC. It is a philosophy of life that maximizes positive emotions, reduces negative emotions and helps individuals to hone their virtues of character.

Welcome to yet another interesting evening where we’re planning on discussing grand philosophical ideas on Stoicism.

This event is part of a Paris-based Cercle de Réflexion dedicated to sharing philosophical and leadership ideas that shaped and are still shaping our world!

This club-like group that meets every first Thursday of the month is for anyone interested in educational discussions and resources about philosophy where you don’t need to be a graduate-level philosopher to understand it.

Format: This discussion-type event will be introduced and presented by our friend Nicolas, followed by a group discussion inviting everyone's contribution to the topic.

This event is Free and will happen online...Connexion link only visible to members who RSVP.

Reminder: No-shows aren't tolerated. A No-show will get you removed from the group!
