Stoicism and Practical Philosophy
The programme presents philosophy as a practice rather than a set of quotations. You will study the Stoic model of control and acceptance, the Epictetan distinction between what depends on us and what does not, the practice of adverse events and working with loss. Dedicated blocks cover existentialism and the choice of meaning, the ethics of decisions and dilemmas, the philosophy of death and finitude as a source of clarity, and attitudes to money, status and approval. By the end you assemble a personal philosophical journal and a set of practices applied to real decisions rather than left as theory.
