• Course OverviewDistilled to its essence, the ancient Greco-Roman philosophy known as Stoicism is a philosophy of personal betterment.
• It aims to help us navigate the challenges of our everyday existence and reflect on the broader meaning and direction of our lives.
• Unlike standard ethics, which focuses on answering questions about actions (“Is human cloning right or wrong?”), virtue ethics focus on our character (“How can I become a better person?”).
• Examining virtue ethics makes any exploration of Stoicism not just illuminating—but also incredibly personal, and possibly life-changing.The Stoic life is defined by three fundamentals:We do not control as much as we think we do about the world and our lives.We can recover from calamity and disaster by focusing on what is in our power.We should live by the light of reason and community, rather than by wealth and fame.And if you think this school of philosophy is relegated to ancient figures like Zeno, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca, think again.
