Philosophy Shorts: The Virtues of the Student
Virtual EventWhat are the qualities of an excellent student? Or, as ancient Greek philosophers would put it, what are the virtues, or excellences, which belong to students in general, and especially to students of philosophy? In this evening Zoom program led by community philosopher David Nowakowski we’ll examine some passages on this theme, written by thinkers in the Hellenistic philosophy tradition, and engage in lively conversation about the goals and methods of education, how virtues correspond, and how these apply in our lives today. Learn more & RSVP here.

Philosophy Workshop: Nothing More than Feelings? Emotion & the Good Life
Virtual EventMany philosophers of the ancient world took a rather dim view of emotions, or “the passions,” preferring to cultivate lives of deliberate, active choice, rather than being passively buffeted about by feelings and promptings of the external world. This often leads to two opposing reactions on the part of modern readers: those that hold emotions afar (as obstacles for living) and those that identify very closely with them (as intricately linked with an ethical life). In this evening’s Zoom program led by David Nowakowski we’ll try to carve out a middle ground between these two reactions, and recover something closer to what the classical Greek philosophers were aiming at.
