Stoicism 101: Week 3 - Justice

Join us for an evening of Stoic philosophy and discussion. We'll kick off the event with a short presentation exploring one of the core ideas of Stoicism, focusing on its real-world application with some practices drawn from the texts. Following the presentation, we'll break into smaller groups for a lightly-facilitated discussion about the topic.

This week, we’ll be discussing what the Stoics meant by justice, our interconnectivity with humanity, how to deal with bad people, and how to do good in the world. We’ll also be going over a practice designed to help us be more happy, more helpful, and less judgmental in our day-to-day lives.

Thanks so much for your interest, and please remember:

"There is no such thing as good or bad fortune for the individual; we live in common. And no one can live happily who has regard to himself alone and transforms everything into a question of his own utility; you must live for your neighbor, if you would live for yourself." - Seneca, Letters from a Stoic, Letter 48
