Have you always wondered what philosophy is really all about? Is it simply asking confusing questions with no clear answer?
In this elective, we will learn the basics of philosophical study by engaging with Stoicism. In addition to diving into the history, principles, and prominent figures behind Stoic philosophy, we will also gain a better understanding of how we can apply Stoicism in our daily lives. Philosophy does not have to be intimidating, and what better way to explore it than by reading passages from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, journaling peacefully, and maybe even enjoying some sweet treats along the way?
