About the event

Philosopher's Brunch: Beyond Stoicism–Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life
Today’s talk by renowned philosopher Massimo Pigliucci continues our three-week Philosopher’s Series, offering food for thought from noted philosophers as well as brunch!

Massimo, a leading voice in practical philosophy and a professor at City College of New York, will discuss ideas in his latest book, “Beyond Stoicism: A Guide to the Good Life with Stoics, Skeptics, Epicureans, and Other Ancient Philosophers.” Pigliucci, also the author of “How to Be a Stoic,” writes the popular Art of Living column in “Philosophy Now” magazine.

Brunch at 10 am: Doors open at 10 am for an optional brunch ($12 per person), featuring classic Western favorites alongside Mediterranean-inspired dishes, a tasty tribute to philosophy’s ancient roots. Reservations are recommended for brunch. Please email Y3VydCB8IGV0aGljYWxmb2N1cyAhIG9yZw== to reserve your spot.

Talk at 10:30 am: This talk is free and open to all at the meetinghouse and on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, please email YWRtaW4gfCBldGhpY2FsZm9jdXMgISBvcmc= by noon on Friday.

The Philosopher’s Series continues on Aug. 10 with “Human Emergence and our Place in the Natural World” by David Sprintzen, professor emeritus of philosophy at Long Island University. The first talk, “The Changing Nature of Work in an Age of AI” by Society Leader Curt Collier, who also teaches ethics and philosophy of science at Fairleigh Dickinson University, is July 27.
