Learn Stoic Philosophy in a Nutshell: Free Short Course

March 5, 2023 @ 8:00 pm 9:00 pm

This is a free online course. We will provide you with a Zoom meetings link after you register.

NOTE: The self-guided study will start on Monday, 27 February 2023

  • Discover what is in your power and what is not
  • Learn to distinguish between what is hindered or impeded and what is free
  • Explore desire, aversion, choice, and refusal in Stoic theory
  • Learn to see things as they are and not how you would like them to be
  • Understand the importance of maintaining your will in accordance with nature
  • Distinguish between things themselves and your judgments and appearances
  • Learn to differentiate what is yours and what belongs to something else
  • Practice philosophy instead of just talking about it
  • Master the concept of the two handles and how to deal with distressing matters.

Drawing on the translation by William Abbott Oldfather, this course utilizes the audio version narrated by Vox Stoica and the free course lectures and handouts by Greg Sadler.

There are two options for study, either full or lite. The approximate time commitments for each option are:

  • Full: 4-5 hours (3-4 hours of your time and 1 hour for study group)
  • Lite: 1.5-2 hours (.5-1 hour of your time and 1 hour for the study group)

If you can’t make it to the Sunday night meetings, you’re still welcome to work your way through this program and join us on our Facebook group to discuss the topics and ask any questions.

You are welcome to contact us for more details.
