On 2nd December 2023, New Acropolis Main Centre at Colaba organized a talk titled “Living the Good Life: Stoic Lessons for Today.” The event explored the renewed interest in Stoic philosophy in our times – a testament to the practical philosophical attitude with which the Stoics faced daily challenges with eternal ethics and a search for Goodness.
The talk highlighted a few fundamental stoic ideas to demonstrate how their timeless teachings may be applied to live a good life even today. Among them, the idea that a human being is not a victim of fate; that to be human is the freedom to choose the most just and beautiful response in every circumstance.
Through this investigation, the speakers presented a glimpse into the “Living Philosophy Course” to invite those searching for a philosophical orientation to find more meaning in life.
