ONLINE: Stoics v. Skeptics: What is Knowledge? Part 3
Details
This is the Monday night meeting for Orlando Stoics. It's online.
Last week's conversation was insightful, so we'll have part 3 of Skepticism and Epistemology. We'll review more of Massimo Pigliucci's article, plus the IEP article, and a bonus (an intriguing scene from the Mission Impossible movie 'Fallout' where Tom Cruise and his team fool the villain into giving secret codes). See the link below.

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.
