Stoicism and Ethics explores the stoic worldview, focusing on ethics as a domain governed by personal control and agency amidst a wider world filled with matters beyond our control. The course explores Epictetus "Discourses" emphasizing the Stoic tenet of distinguishing between what is within our control and what is not. Seneca's "Letters" offer practical guidance on living a virtuous life amidst adversity, while Cicero's various works provide a broader Roman context to Stoic ethics, blending personal and public moral considerations. The course culminates with Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" a personal testament to Stoic principles in action. Through these texts, students engage with the core ideas of Stoicism, learning how this ancient philosophy champions rationality, resilience, and virtue, and its enduring relevance in modern life.
