This is the Monday night meeting for Orlando Stoics. It's online.

What is knowledge? One branch of philosophy studies this (it’s called epistemology), and it covers the nature and extent of knowledge. However, recently, Massimo Pigliucci composed an article on how Stoics and Skeptics view knowledge differently. This week, we’ll review Massimo’s article. If you’d like some “extra credit”, you can also read the IEP article on epistemology.

Reading Material

As usual, I'll prepare an outline of discussion points, so you don't have to read or watch in advance.

Our group enjoys open-minded, respectful conversations on Stoicism and how it relates to science, culture, philosophy, other belief systems, and even pop culture (books and movies). 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.
