Reading Material - "Reason & Sentiment" - Dr. Paul Charles Dubois

Embark on a journey through the human psyche with Dr. Paul Dubois's classic, "Reason and Sentiment." This landmark address, delivered at the University of Berne in 1910, dives deep into the essence of human action, distinguishing the roles of reason and sentiment in our daily lives. Expertly translated by Edward G. Richards, this work stands as a testament to Dubois's profound understanding of neuropathology and his exploration of the intricate balance between the mind and the heart.

As we navigate the complexities of our relationships and social interactions, Dubois guides us through the labyrinth of our own motivations, illuminating the forces of desire and fear that drive us. With each page, readers are invited to reflect on their own lives, considering the impact of sentiments on their actions and the potential for reason to harmonize our inner conflicts.

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. We will discuss how Stoic practice can lead to a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Our group enjoys open-minded, respectful conversations on Stoicism and how it relates to science, culture, philosophy, other belief systems, and pop culture (books and movies). If we differ in our opinions, then "we agree to disagree". The long-term goal is to improve our minds via group discussions. Our group does NOT discuss religion or politics.
