Theme :
Starting from the Meditations of 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 first and foremost 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 concentrate our attention on the present moment; the concern for individual happiness must always be linked to the concern for the common good, etc.
