Theme :
Starting from the Thoughts for Myself by the philosopher emperor Marcus Aurelius, Frédéric Lenoir will explain in this evening the major themes of Stoic philosophy that can help us live in these difficult times: everything in our world is interdependent; we can be happy with little; freedom is above all internal; it is the judgments we make about things that most often make us happy or unhappy; we must learn to accompany the permanent movement of life rather than resist it; let us focus our attention on the present moment; concern for individual happiness must always be linked to concern for the common good, etc.
