Is Perfectionism a Trap? A Stoic Perspective

Stoic philosophers often spoke of the perfectly wise person: the Stoic Sage. But what does that mean for the rest of us?

In this session we’ll explore how Stoic thinkers such as Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius approached the question of high ideals and human imperfetcion.

Is the Stoic ideal meant as a realistic goal, a guiding model,　or something else entirely? And how should we think about mistakes,, setbacks, and progress in our own lives?

**Please note the time and venue.** It is a simple meeting room, but there are vending machines in the centre, so you may want to bring some change so that you can get a drink.

There is a waitlist, so if you need to change your reservation, please do so promptly to allow others enough notice to attend.

The group is non-religious and apolitical, focusing on practical philosophy.

No previous knowledge is needed. Newcomers welcome!
