ONLINE: Presentation at Stoic Salon: MARCUS AURELIUS

This is Stoic Sundays - a combined meeting of Stoic Salon (UK) and Orlando Stoics (USA). It's about Stoicism and history. We meet at 5PM Eastern, 10PM BST, and 7AM Australia EST.

Who are the important Stoics in history? And what did they contribute to philosophy? This series of lectures reviews their lives and wisdom. This Sunday, StoicDan and Dr. Jerry Everard will talk about MARCUS AURELIUS.

This series of lectures is based on the recently-published book "Lives of the Stoics" by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman, plus other sources like Massimo Pigliucci, Donald Robertson, John Sellars, Stoic podcasts and other academic papers.

Rules

Our groups enjoy open-minded, respectful conversations on Stoicism and related topics. Sometimes "we agree to disagree", but the long-term goal is to improve our minds via group discussions.

In general, Stoicism teaches us how to handle difficult people and events, how to avoid anger and worry, and overall to use moderation in all aspects of our lives.

This meeting is free and open to the public.
