How should we live? Stoicism Presentation with Stefan Rodde

Epictetus

Philosophy as a way of life: Stoicism is the ancient school of philosophy which puts a strong emphasis that philosophy is first and foremost a way to guide how we should live and how we should act.

Come out this Thursday and hear Professor Stefan Rodde give his presentation on the ethics of Stoicism! It will be followed by a discussion period where we will explore ideas on how we can attain a virtuous life and maintain calm in the face of adversity. There are also interesting parallels between Stoicism, Buddhism and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) a prominent form of psychotherapy.

When: Thursday Oct 22nd @ 6:00-8:00pm
Where: South Ross S421

Don’t miss it and we hope to see you there!
