ONLINE / ENGLISH: Humanism, meeting is SKIPPED 7-21-2025

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

We are skipping this meeting because Dan's traveling to Copenhagen. We'll be back next Monday. If you'd like to read in advance for next week, the article on Buddhism is below.

Humanism is a philosophical outlook that centers on the value, potential, and agency of human beings, viewing them as the foundation for a meaningful existence. Our series will start with the history of Humanism and then discuss various ideas and concepts.

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.
