A Taster in Stoicism and the Art of Living
2022-11-04 14:00 - 15:30 | Morrab Library
Stoicism is often misunderstood as languishing through life without complaint, but in this talk, Darren Harper will show you how such thinkers such as Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius confronted one of the key questions of the ancient world, “How should we live?”, and supplied us with pragmatic ways in which to flourish.
This taster session will be on Friday 4th November 2pm – 3.30pm.
Darren will also be hosting a half-day session on the same day about the Philosophy of Religion and Art, please view the separate event page for this for more information.

A Crash Course in Philosophy: Religion and Art

In this fantastic half day course, Darren Harper will disinter a little of philosophy’s hermetic meaning as you join him to re-evaluate religion, including St. Anselm’s famous “Ontological Argument”, and then go on to appreciate art and aesthetics with Clive Bell, R. G. Collingwood and George Dickie.
Friday 4th November 10.30am – 1.30pm (with a brief refreshment break at noon)
Darren will also be hosting a taster about Stoicism on the same day at 2pm for £5, please see the separate event page for this for further details.
