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.
This meeting is being organized to coincide with the publication in November 2024 of Frédéric Lenoir's upcoming book, " The Dream of Marcus Aurelius, " by Flammarion.
