Tokyo Stoics meet to discuss the practical teachings of Stoicism and how to apply them to our daily lives. This ancient philosophy helps us develop tranquility, resiliency and "eudaimonia" (happiness and human flourishing).
The group is secular and apolitical.

Socrates: The Apology
Otsuka Park Midori Library, 4 Chome-49-2 Otsuka, Bunkyo City, Tokyo 112-0012,, Tokyo, JP“The reader who knew the history of Greek philosophy only from Epictetus would form the impression that Stoicism was the philosophy of Socrates.” (A. A. Long, Stoic Studies)
Last time, we considered the Stoic concept of the perfectly wise person, the Sage. For the Stoics, Socrates was the philosopher who came closest to this ideal. As Epictetus suggests, “even if you are not yet a Socrates, still you ought to live as one who wishes to be a Socrates.”
In this session, we turn to the Apology, Socrates’ defence speech at his trial in Athens, where he was ultimately sentenced to death.
We will read extracts from the Apology (both Plato’s and Xenophon’s versions), and consider how the Stoics were deeply inspired by Socrates’ views on wisdom, duty, and the fear of death. As always, we will discuss practical ways to apply these insights in our daily lives.
**Please note the time and venue.** It is a simple meeting room, but there are vending machines in the centre, so you may want to bring some change so that you can get a drink.
There is a waitlist, so if you need to change your reservation, please do so promptly to allow others enough notice to attend.
The group is non-religious and apolitical, focusing on practical philosophy.
No previous knowledge is needed. Newcomers welcome!
