Stoic Pragmatism: Open Seminars Online

31 January 2025 by Krzysztof Skowroński Leave a Comment

Prof. Chris Skowronski (University of Opole, Poland)

Berlin Practical Philosophy International Forum e.V, Germany

La Torre del Virrey: Instituto de Estudios Culturales Avanzados (Grupo de Investigación en Filosofía Terapéutica), Valencia, España

Main Idea:

Our seminars delve into a wide range of topics that bridge the humanistic traditions of Graeco-Roman antiquity with modern philosophical approaches that are practical, relevant, and adaptable to contemporary life. We explore everything from agency, happiness, values, and the social dimensions of well-being to (self-)therapeutic methods for personal growth, culminating in discussions on key ideas in philosophy, ethics, and culture.

A central theme in our discussions is Stoic Pragmatism, which connects ancient and modern/ new Stoicism with American pragmatism—a perspective developed in the works of John Lachs, especially his Stoic Pragmatism (Indiana UP, 2012) and in Chris Skowronski’s A Meaningful Life Amidst a Pluralism of Cultures and Values: John Lachs’s Stoic Pragmatism as a Philosophical and Cultural Project (Brill, 2023).

But our exploration doesn’t stop there. We also engage with ideas from thinkers like George Santayana, the American Transcendentalists, Henryk Elzenberg, and many others, expanding the conversation on how philosophy can enrich and guide modern life.
