Philosophers' Café: Classical Ethics for the (Post)Modern World

The Philosophers' Café is a public forum in which community members discuss interesting contemporary issues in a relaxed and informal setting.

Our next meeting is December 11, 7pm, at Brewery Nonic. The topic is "Classical Ethics for the (Post)Modern World" and will be moderated by Dr. Chris Freeman (History, UW-Stout). Here is the abstract:

"Socrates, the Buddha, and Marcus Aurelius have much in common and provide thoughtful approaches for developing a so-called “Technology of Self.” In the classical view, developing a technology of self is essential for realizing the good life. It just so happens that the classical technology of self, made up of equal parts of mindfulness and letting go, has much to tell us about living the good life in today’s topsy turvy post-modern world."

Join us for some fun discussion! Everyone is welcome!
