The discipline of Action: how to behave in the world

One of the fundamental ideas in Stoicism is Epictetus's notion that we need to practice three disciplines of ethical self-improvement: desire & aversion, action, and assent.

Join us to discuss the theory and some of the practice behind the second ones of these disciplines: action, which is about how to behave in the world, both for ourselves and with respect to others. We'll learn to engage in what the Stoics call "kathēkonta," or proper actions.

Suggested reading: The discipline of action, in the service of humanity.
