Enrollment and locations for the Stoic Philosophy program in the Fall are available now!
Course description:
In a fast-paced world that rewards productivity more than patience and values material objects and superficiality, how can a person cultivate virtues like wisdom, temperance, courage, and justice? One answer lies with the Stoics of Ancient Greece and Rome. Stoicism is an ancient philosophical system that encourages practitioners to be present in the moment, identify structures and circumstances beyond their control, and learn how to be happy "even on the rack." This rigorous course will be both academic and spiritual in nature. We will survey original Stoic texts, parse out metaphysical and ethical questions, and dare to ask what power these radical ancient writings can still offer us in the 21st century
