Echoes of the Ancients (reading group)

While the main group takes a short break, a few of us will dive into the breathtaking dawn of Western philosophy. No prior reading is needed—just curiosity. For those who’d like to explore further, we’ll look at Aristotle’s Physics, Book II, Chapters 1, 3, and 8. If you’d prefer a shorter streamlined version of the readings, just let us know.

Together, we’ll unpack key themes from these texts and share a variety of perspectives to deepen our collective understanding. Along the way, we’ll take brief detours into the pre-Socratics and trace Aristotle’s influence through medieval thought and beyond, adding rich historical context to our discussion.

This interactive session is a great opportunity to reflect, share insights, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Each session stands alone, making it easy for newcomers to join at any time. Best of all, it’s completely FREE!

Join us on a journey through the rich tapestry of thought, spanning from ancient Greece and Rome to the dawn of early modern philosophy.

Discover how these foundational ideas shaped the intellectual transformations that continue to influence the modern world.
