[NYC Stoics] Diogenes Laertius II: Physics

[Cross-posted from NYC Stoics]

At this meetup, we'll continue 2026's theme of exploring readings that cover Stoicism as a coherent practical philosophy. This time, we'll tackle Stoic physics, as presented by the ancient biographer of philosophers, Diogenes Laertius.

To prepare, please read Sections 132 through 160 in Book VII of Diogenes Laertius' Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, which covers Stoic physics. You can find the reading here for free. Come prepared with any questions or comments you may have concerning the material.

We assume all attendees have done the required reading beforehand, so if you haven't read it, you'll likely be left behind!
