Stoicism and Existentialism: Two Paths to a Good Life with J. Aaron Simmons

Join us for a presentation by J. Aaron Simmons, a professor of philosophy at Furman University.

In this talk, Simmons uses existentialism as a lens to examine Stoicism. He acknowledges what he loves about Stoicism and what it gets profoundly right, such as understanding human limitation and the importance of interiority over external achievement. He also notes its correct insight that our experience is deeply impacted by our will, helping us navigate life toward contentment.

This event, part of the 'Conversations with Modern Stoicism' series, was a Zoom call that brought together participants from around the world to learn and interact with each other in their pursuit of a good life.
