Stoicism and After: Philosophy and Life, with Professor A. C. Grayling

Stoicism provided the ethical outlook of educated people in the Hellenic and Roman periods, greatly influenced Christianity which adopted a good slice of its teachings, inspired Renaissance thinkers when classical literature was studied and its insights applied, was the starting point for Descartes' discussion of moral psychology with Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia - they read Seneca together - and was a theme in Enlightenment attitudes.

This was a Classics for All Lawyers Group event, hosted on Tuesday 27 April 2021.
