SUMMARY:Great Minds reading group: Marcus Aurelius | session 3
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: Marcus Aurelius is o
ne of the most famous ancient philsophers. Hailed for his meditations
and contributions to stoic thought, he remains a pillar for young pe
ople interested in learning more about the mind and living in accorda
nce with one's nature. In the following three sessions we will read a
selection of the pages of Verissimus; the stoic philosphy of Marcus
Aurelius. Be sure to join us for this exciting philosophical graphic
novel.
To this day stoicism remains a relevant schoo
l of thought. It is associated with living a sober life, controlling
your reactions, and engaging with the world from a place of logic. An
d yet, it is so much more.
Does stoicism still offer the
same answers in today’s age? By examining the biographic graphic no
vel of one of the most famous stoic philosophers, Marcus Aurelius, we
will investigate this type of philosophy.
During this first
edition of the Great Minds reading group, we will together determine
what we wish to learn from the work of these great thinkers, and how
we wish to discuss this together. Are you interested in philosophy, a
ntiquity, or discussing the bigger questions in life. This is where y
ou belong.
