Stoicism and Peace

Hugh Taft-Morales, Leader

Philadelphia Ethical Society

For more than a decade, Hugh has served on the core team of Peace Day Philly. This small, dedicated organization stresses the connection between inner and outer peace: a relationship also expressed in the philosophy of Stoicism. In this talk, Hugh will describe how Stoicism helps us nurture a peaceful perspective and state of being. He also will join leaders of Philly Stoa, a community dedicated to applying Stoicism to modern challenges, for three joint sessions to explore our shared values and practices.
