SUMMARY:Introduction to Stoicism: The Basics
DESCRIPTION:How do you become the best version of yourself?  Many people find a satisfying answer to this question in the principles and practice of Stoic philosophy. We will discuss Stoicism’s two theoretical pillars\, four cardinal virtues\, and three disciplines and how they provide a framework for practicing Stoicism. If you are open to considering a coherent system of thought that can guide you in living well amidst today’s significant challenges\, we welcome you to join the discussion.

SUMMARY:Breakfast With Seneca: A Stoic Guide to the Art of Living
DESCRIPTION:In the following months\, in conjunction with Philadelphia Stoa https://philadelphiastoa.org\, I will lead a group discussion on David Fideler’s book Breakfast with Seneca: A Stoic Guide to the Art of Living. The books spans 14 Chapters with a little over 200 pages of text (excluding bibliography\, appendix\, and notes). Fideler covers various topics from Friendship\, Love\, and Grief… to Lasting Joy. Tentatively\, the plan is to meet on every 3rd Sunday of each Month (see schedule below). \nThe reason why I picked this book is because Seneca is one of three influential Roman Stoic thinkers. Indeed\, Seneca is prior to both Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. Furthermore\, from my research not too many groups are reading Seneca. David Fideler writes\, \n“While the Stoic school started in Athens roughly three hundred years before Seneca was born\, the writings of the Greek Stoics are mostly lost. They only survive in brief quotations or fragments. This makes Seneca the first major Stoic writer whose philosophical works have come down to us in a nearly complete form. He had one of the most well-informed and curious minds of his age\, and displayed a daring intellectual freedom and open-mindedness in his writings. It is this quality that makes him seem very modern. In this book\, which features fresh translations from his work\, I explain Seneca’s key ideas and wise teachings in the clearest way possible. This is also an introduction to Stoic philosophy in general\, because it’s impossible to fully understand Seneca’s thinking without understanding the Stoic ideas on which it was based. ” \nDavid Fideler studied ancient philosophies and religions at the University of Pennsylvania and holds a PhD in philosophy and the history of science. \nAmazon:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Breakfast-Seneca-Stoic-Guide-Living/dp/1324036605/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1654117915&sr=8-1 \nYoutube with David Fideler:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwx9XTMOUUI \n———————\n1st Meeting: June 19th Sunday 4 to 5:30 pm.\nChapter 1: The Lost Art of Friendship.
