ONLINE: "Free Will & Causality" (Part 2)

Details

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

Over the years, the topics of Free Will and Causality have occurred in our conversations, but we didn’t have time to discuss them in detail. Now, we will cover these challenging topics using an article published by Massimo Pigliucci in 2021. Part 1 (4-11) will be on Free Will, and part 2 (4-18) will be on Causality. Hope you can join us for these fascinating topics!

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.
